More quotes by William Jennings Bryan
The poor man who takes property by force is called a thief, but the creditor who can by legislation make a debtor pay a dollar twice as large as he borrowed is lauded as the friend of a sound currency. The man who wants the people to destroy the Government is an anarchist, but the man who wants the Government to destroy the people is a patriot.
William Jennings Bryan
Patriotism is a mystery-intangible, invisible, and yet eternal.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
Evolution is not truth it is merely a hypothesis-it is millions of guesses strung together.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
I have been so satisfied with the Christian religion that I have spent no time trying to find arguments against it. I am not afraid now that you will show me any. I feel that I have enough information to live and die by.
William Jennings Bryan
Eloquent speech is not from lip to ear, but rather from heart to heart.
William Jennings Bryan
Most of the temptations that come to us to sell the soul come in connection with the getting of money.
William Jennings Bryan
The chief duty of governments, in so far as they are coercive, is to restrain those who would interfere with the inalienable rights of the individual, among which are the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to the pursuit of happiness and the right to worship God according to the dictates of ones conscience.
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
None so little enjoy themselves, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do. Only the active have the true relish of life.
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
Christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionships of yesterday and the reunions of tomorrow.
William Jennings Bryan
On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.
