This kind of government must be scourged and destroyed.

William Jennings Bryan
If we steal a man's purse we are thieves. If we steal twelve hundred islands we are patriots. If you steal a man's money you will be sent to the penitentiary. If you steal his liberty you will be sent to the White House.
William Jennings Bryan
There is no more reason to believe that man descended from an inferior animal than there is to believe that a stately mansion has descended from a small cottage.
William Jennings Bryan
That is the one thing in my public career that I regret--my work to secure the enactment of the Federal Reserve Law.
