More quotes by William Jennings Bryan
Agnosticism is the natural attitude of the evolutionist. How can a brute mind comprehend spiritual things?
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
Eloquent speech is not from lip to ear, but rather from heart to heart.
William Jennings Bryan
Principles are eternal.
William Jennings Bryan
Wars are sometimes waged to extend trade-the blood of many being shed to enrich a few.
William Jennings Bryan
We spend months inside them, then the rest of our lives getting babied by them.
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
If you want criticisms, read the dissenting opinions of the Court. That will give you criticisms.
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
Nation after nation, when at the zenith of its power, has proclaimed itself invincible because its army could shake the earth with its tread and its ships could fill the seas, but these nations are dead, and we must build upon a different foundation if we would avoid their fate.
William Jennings Bryan
If it weren't for the lawyers we wouldn't need them.
William Jennings Bryan
Greed is at the bottom of most of the wrong-doing with which government has to deal.
William Jennings Bryan
If it be true, as I believe it is, that morality is dependent upon religion, then religion is not only the most practical thing in the world, but the first essential.
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
One miracle is just as easy to believe as another.
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
If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it.
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 the Bible and the microscope do not agee, the microscope is wrong
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.
