Famous quotes containing the word howard:

    “Bryan is the least of a liar I know in public life. I have always found him direct and honest, and he never goes back on what he has said to me in private—a rare thing, if found, in public men. I found him purely frank.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
