William Jennings Bryan
New York is the city of privilege. Here is the seat of the Invisible Power represented by the allied forces of finance and industry.

This kind of government must be scourged and destroyed.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
Nation after nation, when at the zenith of its power, has proclaimed itself invincible because its army could shake the earth with its tread and its ships could fill the seas, but these nations are dead, and we must build upon a different foundation if we would avoid their fate.
William Jennings Bryan
You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
William Jennings Bryan
My place in history will depend on what I can do for the people and not on what the people can do for me.
