More quotes by William McKinley
We need Hawaii just as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is manifest destiny.
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
That's all a man can hope for during his lifetime - to set an example - and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history.
William McKinley
Unlike any other nation, here the people rule, and their will is the supreme law. It is sometimes sneeringly said by those who do not like free government, that here we count heads. True, heads are counted, but brains also . . .
William McKinley
The best way for the Government to maintain its credit is to pay as it goes-not by resorting to loans, but by keeping out of debt-through an adequate income secured by a system of taxation, external or internal, or both.
William McKinley
The American flag has not been planted on foreign soil to acquire more territory but for humanity's sake.
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
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
We cannot gamble with anything so sacred as money.
William McKinley
Expositions are the timekeepers of progress.
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
Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed, and, fortunately, we have them in every part of our beloved country.
William McKinley
The people of this country want an industrial policy that is for America and Americans.
William McKinley
Honesty, capacity, and industry are nowhere more indispensable than in public employment.
William McKinley
Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness, and peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of the earth
William McKinley
The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.
William McKinley
Our differences are policies our agreements, principles.
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
I have never been in doubt since I was old enough to think intelligently that I would someday be made President.
William McKinley
War should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed.
William McKinley
