More quotes by William Jennings Bryan

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
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 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
God may be a matter of indifference to the evolutionists, and a life beyond may have no charm for them, but the mass of mankind will continue to worship their creator and continue to find comfort in the promise of their Savior that he has gone to prepare a place for them.
William Jennings Bryan
The greatest things ever done on Earth have been done little by little.
William Jennings Bryan
Selfish interest is one of the most common obstructions to the advance of truth.
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
On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.
William Jennings Bryan
Eloquent speech is not from lip to ear, but rather from heart to heart.
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
Greed is at the bottom of most of the wrong-doing with which government has to deal.
