Our government conceived in freedom and purchased with blood can be preserved only by constant vigilance.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan
Only those who believe attempt the seemingly impossible.
William Jennings Bryan
Whenever one refuses to admit such a self-evident truth, for instance, as that it is wrong to steal, don't argue with him-search him the reason may be found in his pocket.
William Jennings Bryan
We spend months inside them, then the rest of our lives getting babied by them.
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
Atheists have just as much civil right to teach atheism as Christians have to teach Christianity agnostics have just as much right to teach agnosticism as Christians have to teach their religion.
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 wisdom of the Bible writers is more than human the prophecies proclaim a Supreme Ruler who, though inhabiting all space, deigns to speak through the hearts and minds and tongues of His children.
William Jennings Bryan
One miracle is just as easy to believe as another.
