Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
I am not one of those who believe that a great standing army is the means of maintaining peace, because if you build up a great profession those who form parts of it want to exercise their profession.
Woodrow Wilson
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.
Woodrow Wilson
Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto.
