More quotes by William McKinley

War should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed.
William McKinley
In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.
William McKinley
I have never been in doubt since I was old enough to think intelligently that I would someday be made President.
William McKinley
Let us ever remember that our interest is in concord, not in conflict and that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war.
William McKinley
Half-heartedness never won a battle.
William McKinley
The path of progress is seldom smooth. New things are often found hard to do. Our fathers found them so. We find them so. But are we not made better for the effort and scarifice?
William McKinley
We go to war only to make peace. We never went to war with any other design. We carry the national conscience wherever we go.
William McKinley
Illiteracy must be banished from the land if we shall attain that high destiny as the foremost of the enlightened nations of the world which, under Providence, we ought to achieve.
William McKinley
We need Hawaii just as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is manifest destiny.
William McKinley
I am a tariff man, standing on a tariff platform.
William McKinley
Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of our fathers who has so singularly favored the American people in every national trial and who will not forsake us so long as we obey His commandments and walk humbly in His footsteps
William McKinley

William McKinley
We cannot gamble with anything so sacred as money.
William McKinley
I do not prize the word cheap. It is not a word of inspiration. It is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. Cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country.
William McKinley
The army of Grant and the army of Lee are together. They are one now in faith, in hope, in fraternity, in purpose, and in an invincible patriotism. And, therefore, the country is in no danger. In justice strong, in peace secure, and in devotion to the flag all one.
William McKinley
The American people, intrenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go.
William McKinley
Without competition we would be clinging to the clumsy antiquated processes of farming and manufacture and the methods of business of long ago, and the twentieth would be no further advanced than the eighteenth century.
William McKinley
I am for America because America is for the common people.
William McKinley
The people of this country want an industrial policy that is for America and Americans.
William McKinley
