Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
No people are true Christians who do not think constantly of how they can lift their brother and sister, how they can assist their friends, how they can enlighten mankind, how they can make virtue the rule of conduct in the circle in which they live.
Woodrow Wilson
It is a protest against the way the world has worked. (explanation of Bolshevism)

All things come to him who waits
