Woodrow Wilson
The only use of an obstacle is to be overcome. All that an obstacle does with brave men is, not to frighten them, but to challenge them.
Woodrow Wilson
The only thing that saves the world is the little handful of disinterested men that are in it.
Woodrow Wilson
The profession I chose was politics the profession I entered was law. I entered the one because I thought it would lead to the other.
Woodrow Wilson
War isn’t declared in the name of God it is a human affair entirely.
Woodrow Wilson
The only place in the world that nothing has to be explained to me is the South.
Woodrow Wilson
I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
Woodrow Wilson
To fight, you must be brutal and ruthless, and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fibre of national life.

Opinion is the great, indeed the only coordinating force in our system.
Woodrow Wilson
We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world.

If you can find older men who will give you countenance and acceptableleadership, follow them but if you cannot, organize separately and dispense with them. There are only two sorts of men to be associated with when something is to be done: Those are young men and men who never grow old.

Woodrow Wilson
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
Woodrow Wilson
The allied nations with the fullest concurrence of our government and people are agreed that in Palestine shall be laid the foundations of a Jewish Commonwealth.
