William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
Success is brought by continued labor and continued watchfulness. We must struggle on, not for one moment hesitate, nor take one backward step.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
Christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionships of yesterday and the reunions of tomorrow.
William Jennings Bryan
The first thing to understand is the difference between the natural person and the fictitious person called a corporation. They differ in the purpose for which they are created, in the strength which they possess, and in the restraints under which they act.
William Jennings Bryan
The chief duty of governments, in so far as they are coercive, is to restrain those who would interfere with the inalienable rights of the individual, among which are the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to the pursuit of happiness and the right to worship God according to the dictates of ones conscience.
William Jennings Bryan
No one can earn a million dollars honestly.
William Jennings Bryan
You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
William Jennings Bryan
If evolution wins, Christianity goes!
William Jennings Bryan
