Death comes along like a gas bill one can't payand that's all one can sayabout it.
Woodrow Wilson
The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of thecivilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.
Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
