Politics is a war of causes a joust of principles.
Woodrow Wilson

Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.
Woodrow Wilson

I must beg you to indulge me in the matter of hyphens.... You will find that I have marked out a great many in the proofs. We arein danger of Germanizing our printing by using them so much, and I have a very decided preference in the matter.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Congress in session is Congress on public exhibition, whilst Congress in its committee-rooms is Congress at work.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him-not even to consent to it but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Liberty is its own reward.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Only peace between equals can last.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No task, rightly done, is truly private. It is part of the world s work.

Let it be your pride to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are.
