Woodrow Wilson
Only peace between equals can last.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
There is such a thing as man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.
Woodrow Wilson
Today's greatest labor-saving device is tomorrow.
Woodrow Wilson
No thoughtful man ever came to the end of his life, and had time and a little space of calm from which to look back upon it, who did not know and acknowledge that it was what he had done unselfishly and for others, and nothing else, that satisfied him in the retrospect, and made him feel that he had played the man.

Woodrow Wilson
I can predict with absolute certainty that within another generation there will be another world war if the nations of the world do not concert the method by which to prevent it.
Woodrow Wilson
...men are not put into this world to go the path of ease, they are put into this world to go the path of pain and struggle.
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
I believe in Democracy because it releases the energies of every human being.
Woodrow Wilson
It would be the irony of fate if my administration had to deal chiefly with foreign affairs.
Woodrow Wilson
A man's rootage is more important than his leafage.
Woodrow Wilson
Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.
Woodrow Wilson
