More quotes by William Jennings Bryan
Next to the ministry I know of no more noble profession than the law. The object aimed at is justice, equal and exact, and if it does not reach that end at once it is because the stream is diverted by selfishness or checked by ignorance. Its principles ennoble and its practice elevates.
William Jennings Bryan
The Old Testament gave us the law the New Testament reveals the love upon which the law rests.
William Jennings Bryan
You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
William Jennings Bryan
If matter mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of Nature into a multitude of forms, can never die, will the spirit of man suffer annihilation when it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest, to this tenement of clay?
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
We spend months inside them, then the rest of our lives getting babied by them.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
Real estate is the best investment for small savings. More money is made from the rise in real estate values than from all other causes combined.
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
If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it.
William Jennings Bryan
If there is no God there is no hereafter. When, therefore, one drives God out of the universe he closes the door of hope upon himself.
William Jennings Bryan
The greatest things ever done on Earth have been done little by little.
William Jennings Bryan
Wars are sometimes waged to extend trade-the blood of many being shed to enrich a few.
William Jennings Bryan
The speech of one who knows what he is talking about and means what he says-it is thought on fire.
William Jennings Bryan
I can not wish you success in your effort to reject the treaty because while it may win the fight it may destroy our cause. My plan cannot fail if the people are with us and we ought not to succeed unless we do have the people with us.
William Jennings Bryan
Our government conceived in freedom and purchased with blood can be preserved only by constant vigilance.
William Jennings Bryan
None so little enjoy themselves, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do. Only the active have the true relish of life.
William Jennings Bryan
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
William Jennings Bryan
