Famous quotes by William Howard Taft:

"As the Republican platforms says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country."

"There is nothing so despicable as a secret society that is based upon religious prejudice and that will attempt to defeat a man because of his religious beliefs. Such a society is like a cockroach -- it thrives in the dark. So do those who combine for such an end."

"It is important, of course, that controversies be settled right, but there are many civil questions which arise between individuals in which it is not so important the controversy be settled one way or another as that it be settled. Of course a settlement of a controversy on a fundamentally wrong principle of law is greatly to be deplored, but there must of necessity be many rules governing the relations between members of the same society that are more important in that their establishment creates a known rule of action than that they proceed on one principle or another. Delay works always for the man with the longest purse."

"Enthusiasm for a cause sometimes warps judgment"

"No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people."

"Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick."

"The world is not going to be saved by legislation."

"Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution and the one which, united with that of personal liberty, has contributed more to the growth of civilization than any other institution established by the human race."

"Presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever."

"Don't write so that you can be understood, write so that you can't be misunderstood."

"Failure to accord credit to anyone for what he may have done is a great weakness in any man."

"I am afraid I am a constant disappointment to my party. The fact of the matter is, the longer I am president the less of a party man I seem to become."

"I think I might as well give up being a candidate. There are so many people in the country who don't like me."

"No, the only things which do not bother me are the elements. I can overcome them without a fight. All one has to do to get the best of the elements is to stand pat and one will win."

"We are all imperfect. We can not expect perfect government."

"If this humor be the safety of our race, then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain."

"Don't worry over what the newspapers say. I don't. Why should anyone else? I told the truth to the newspaper correspondents - but when you tell the truth to them they are at sea."

"I am in favor of helping the prosperity of all countries because, when we are all prosperous, the trade with each becomes more valuable to the other."

"I am president now, and tired of being kicked around."

"Substantial progress toward better things can rarely be taken without developing new evils requiring new remedies."
