Science is a magnificent force, but it is not a teacher of morals. It can perfect machinery, but it adds no moral restraints to protect society from the misuse of the machine. It can also build gigantic intellectual ships, but it constructs no moral rudders for the control of storm tossed human vessel. It not only fails to supply the spiritual element needed but some of its unproven hypotheses rob the ship of its compass and thus endangers its cargo.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

And who can suffer injury by ...

And who can suffer injury by just taxation, impartial laws and the application of the Jeffersonian doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none? Only those whose accumulations are stained with dishonesty and whose immoral methods have given them a distorted view of business, society and government. Accumulating by conscious frauds more money than they can use upon themselves, wisely distribute or safely leave to their children, these denounce as public enemies all who question their methods or throw a light upon their crimes.

Only those who believe attempt the seemingly impossible.

No greater victory can be won...

No greater victory can be won by citizens or soldiers than to transform temporary foes into permanent friends.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

Service is the measure of gre...

Service is the measure of greatness; it always has been true; it is true today, and it always will be true, that he is greatest who does the most of good. Nearly all of our controversies and combats grow out of the fact that we are trying to get something from each other--there will be peace when our aim is to do something for each other. The human measure of a human life is its income; the divine measure of a life is its outgo, its overflow--its contribution to the welfare of all.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

If we steal a man's purse we ...

If we steal a man's purse we are thieves. If we steal twelve hundred islands we are patriots. If you steal a man's money you will be sent to the penitentiary. If you steal his liberty you will be sent to the White House.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

If God himself was not willing to use coercion to force man to accept certain religious views, man, uninspired and liable to error, ought not to use the means that Jehovah would not employ.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

Nation after nation, when at ...

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.

An orator is a man who says what he thinks and feels what he says.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

If matter mute and inanimate,...

If matter mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of Nature into a multitude of forms, can never die, will the spirit of man suffer annihilation when it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest, to this tenement of clay?

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

Belief in God is almost unive...

Belief in God is almost universal and the effect of this belief is so vast that one is appalled at the thought of what social conditions would be if reverence for God were erased from every heart.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

Facts mean nothing unless the...

Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

Love makes money-grabbing see...

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.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

The Old Testament gave us the law; the New Testament reveals the love upon which the law rests.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

The wisdom of the Bible write...

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 114 quotes

You shall not press down upon...

You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

When we advocate a thing whic...

When we advocate a thing which we believe will be successful we are not compelled to raise a doubt as to our own sincerity by trying to show what we will do if we are wrong.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

Our government, conceived in ...

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 114 quotes

The great political questions are in their final analysis great moral questions.

William Jennings Bryan 114 quotes

As long as there are human rights to be defended; as long as there are great interests to be guarded; as long as the welfare of nations is a matter for discussion, so long will public speaking have its place.
