Woodrow Wilson
One cool judgement is worth a thousand hasty councils.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
That is Gladstone, the greatest statesman that ever lived. I intend to be a statesman, too.
Woodrow Wilson
The greatest and truest models for all oratorsis Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.
Woodrow Wilson
We shall not, I believe, be obliged to alter our policy of watchful waiting.
Woodrow Wilson
