William Jennings Bryan
Whenever one refuses to admit such a self-evident truth, for instance, as that it is wrong to steal, don't argue with him-search him the reason may be found in his pocket.
William Jennings Bryan
The Bible holds up before us ideals that are within sight of the weakest and the lowliest, and yet so high that the best and the noblest are kept with their faces turned ever upward. It carries the call of the Saviour to the remotest corners of the earth on its pages are written the assurances of the present and our hopes for the future
William Jennings Bryan
