More quotes by William Jennings Bryan
Love makes money-grabbing seem contemptible love makes class prejudice impossible love makes selfish ambition a thing to be despised love converts enemies into friends.
William Jennings Bryan
Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.
William Jennings Bryan
Our government conceived in freedom and purchased with blood can be preserved only by constant vigilance.
William Jennings Bryan
Evolution is not truth it is merely a hypothesis-it is millions of guesses strung together.
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
Principles are eternal.
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
If that vital spark that we find in a grain of wheat can pass unchanged through countless deaths and resurrections, will the spirit of man be unable to pass from this body to another?
William Jennings Bryan
Two people in a conversation amount to four people talking. The four are what one person says, what he really wanted to say, what his listener heard, and what he thought he heard.
William Jennings Bryan
If you want criticisms, read the dissenting opinions of the Court. That will give you criticisms.
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
Do not compute the totality of your poultry population until all the manifestations of incubation have been entirely completed.
William Jennings Bryan
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced back to the teaching of evolution. It would be better to destroy every other book ever written, and save just the first three verses of Genesis.
William Jennings Bryan
Evolution seems to close the heart to some of the plainest spiritual truths while it opens the mind to the wildest guesses advanced in the name of science.
William Jennings Bryan
There can be no settlement of a great cause without discussion, and people will not discuss a cause until their attention is drawn to it.
William Jennings Bryan
As long as there are human rights to be defended as long as there are great interests to be guarded as long as the welfare of nations is a matter for discussion, so long will public speaking have its place.
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
This nation is able to legislate for its own people on every question, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.
William Jennings Bryan
Belief in God is almost universal and the effect of this belief is so vast that one is appalled at the thought of what social conditions would be if reverence for God were erased from every heart.
William Jennings Bryan
On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.
