Woodrow Wilson
Some people have a large circle of friends while others have only friends that they like.

Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Have you thought of the sufferings of Armenia? You poured out your money to help succor the Armenians after they suffered now set your strength so that they shall never suffer again.
Woodrow Wilson
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Woodrow Wilson
I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.
Woodrow Wilson
America is the place where you cannot kill your government by killing the men who conduct it.
Woodrow Wilson
There is here a great melting pot in which we must compound a precious metal. That metal is the metal of nationality.
