Genius is divine perseverance. Divine patience I believe he originally used, perseverance is better in my opinion. Genius I cannot claim nor even extra brightness but perseverance all can have.

Remember that God ordained that I should be the next president of the United States. Neither you nor any other mortal or mortals could have prevented this.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
For my part, I am very much more afraid of the man who does a bad thing and does not know it is bad than of the man who does a bad thing and knows it is bad because I think that in public affairs stupidity is more dangerous than knavery, because harder to fight and dislodge.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Conservatism is the policy of make no change and consult your grandmother when in doubt.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
You have just taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Of allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to no one, unless it be God. Certainly not of allegiance to those who temporarily represent this great government. You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of the human race.

There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
...We are intensely proud of their noble record and are glad to have had the whole world see how irresistible they are in their might when a cause which America holds dear is at stake. The whole nation has reason to be proud of them.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal - to discover and maintain liberty among men.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
It does not become America that within her borders, where every man is free to follow the dictates of his conscience, men should raise the cry of church against church. To do that is to strike at the very spirit and heart of America.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We grow through our dreams. All great men and women are dreamers. Some, however, allow their dreams to die. You should nurse your dreams and protect them through bad times and tough times to the sunshine and light which always come.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The trouble with the theory [of limited and divided government] is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. This is where the living and breathing constitution comes from. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The way to be patriotic in America is not only to love America, but to love the duty that lies nearest to our hand, and to know that in performing it we are serving our country.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Every one at the bottom of his heart cherishes vanity even the toad thinks himself good-looking,--rather tawny perhaps, but look at his eye!
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen.

All things come to him who waits

The object of love is to serve, not to win
Woodrow Wilson
Image
War is only a sort of dramatic representation, a sort of dramatic symbol of a thousand forms of duty. I fancy that it is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shooting at you.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Opinion is the great, indeed the only coordinating force in our system.

One of the proofs of the divinity of our gospel is the preaching it has survived.

Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.
