威廉詹寧斯布萊安及其原則

威廉‧詹寧斯‧布萊安是個依其原則而行的人。他不怕因為議題的立場不同而成為不受歡迎的一方。儘管他曾經輸掉三次總統大選,但他仍於 1913 年擔任伍德洛‧威爾遜總統 (Woodrow Wilson) 內閣的國務卿職位。身為一個追求和平的人,他與 30 個國家磋商條約,使對方同意在與其他國家有所爭執時,能先調查爭執原因,而非直接開戰。雖然布萊恩無法讓事情都按他的想法走,但他始終能堅定信念。


William Jennings Bryan was a man who lived by his principles. He was not afraid to take an unpopular stand on an issue. Although Bryan lost three presidential elections, he did become secretary of state in President Woodrow Wilson's administration in 1913. As a peacemaker, he negotiated treaties with 30 nations in which they agreed to investigate all disputes with other nations rather than go to war. Although Bryan did not always get his way, he remained firm in what he believed in.
