Woodrow Wilson
I am one who fights without a knack of hoping confidentlysimply a Scotch-Irishman who will not be conquered.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
One cool judgement is worth a thousand hasty councils.
Woodrow Wilson
The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.
Woodrow Wilson
Politics is a war of causes a joust of principles. Government is too serious a matter to admit of meaningless courtesies.
Woodrow Wilson
The question of armaments, whether on land or sea, is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and of mankind.
Woodrow Wilson
The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation—until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country.
Woodrow Wilson
Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson
America is not anything if it consists of each of us. It is something only if it consists of all of us...
Woodrow Wilson
Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise.
Woodrow Wilson
This book [the Bible] speaks both the voice of God and the voice of humanity, for there is told in it the most convincing of human experience that has ever been written...and those who heed that story will know their strength and happiness and success are all summed up in the exhortation, Fear God and keep His commandments.
