William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
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
Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
