William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
One miracle is just as easy to believe as another.
William Jennings Bryan
Patriotism is a mystery-intangible, invisible, and yet eternal.
William Jennings Bryan
Atheists have just as much civil right to teach atheism as Christians have to teach Christianity agnostics have just as much right to teach agnosticism as Christians have to teach their religion.
William Jennings Bryan
