More quotes by William Jennings Bryan
I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.
William Jennings Bryan
If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education.
William Jennings Bryan
This is not a contest between persons. The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty - the cause of humanity.
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
Our government, conceived in liberty and purchased with blood, can be preserved only by constant vigilance. May we guard it as our children's richest legacy, for what shall it profit our nation if it shall gain the whole world and lose “the spirit that prizes liberty as the heritage of all men in all lands everywhere”?
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
Eloquent speech is not from lip to ear, but rather from heart to heart.
William Jennings Bryan
Greed is at the bottom of most of the wrong-doing with which government has to deal.
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
We can exterminate Ku Kluxism better by recognizing their honesty and teaching them that they are wrong.
William Jennings Bryan
Evolution is not truth it is merely a hypothesis-it is millions of guesses strung together.
William Jennings Bryan
We have our thoughts, our hopes, our fears, and yet we know that in a moment a change may come over any one of us that will convert a living, breathing human being into a mass of lifeless clay.
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
The great political questions are in their final analysis great moral questions.
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
Christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionships of yesterday and the reunions of tomorrow.
William Jennings Bryan
A belief in God is fundamental upon it rest the influences that control life.
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
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
A man who murders another shortens by a few brief years the life of a human being but he who votes to increase the burden of debts upon the people of the United States assumes a graver responsibility.
William Jennings Bryan
