I want to re-echo my hope that we may all work together for a great peace as distinguished from a mean peace.
Woodrow Wilson

There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight.
Woodrow Wilson

The men who act stand nearer to the mass of man than the men who write and it is in their hands that new thought gets its translation into the crude language of deeds.
Woodrow Wilson

Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.

In the last analysis, my fellow country men, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are responsible for the acts of their government.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Image
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Your real statesman is first of all, and chief of all, a great human being, with an eye for all the great fields on which men likehimself struggle, with unflagging, pathetic hope, toward better things.... He is a guide, a counselor, a mentor, a servant, a friend of mankind.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
You have just taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Of allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to no one, unless it be God. Certainly not of allegiance to those who temporarily represent this great government. You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of the human race.

Some Americans need hyphens in their names, because only part of them has come over but when the whole man has come over, heart and thought and all, the hyphen drops of its own weight out of his name.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There is no indispensable man. The government will not collapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be entrusted with its guidance should be left at home.
