I am sorry for those that disagree with me because I know that they are wrong.
Woodrow Wilson
The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name.... We must be impartial in thought as well as in actiona nationthat neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.
Woodrow Wilson
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
Woodrow Wilson
