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
No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property.
Woodrow Wilson
Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.
Woodrow Wilson
A conservative is a man who just sits and thinks, mostly sits.
Woodrow Wilson
No student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know
