It is not an army that we must train for war it is a nation.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.
Woodrow Wilson

A man's rootage is more important than his leafage.
Woodrow Wilson
Image

Woodrow Wilson
Image
... so far as religion is concerned, argument is adjourned.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand--that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Music says nothing to the reason: it is a kind of closely structured nonsense.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The cure for bad politics is the same as the cure for tuberculosis. It is living in the open.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The light that shined upon the summit now seems almost to shine at our feet.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.
