Woodrow Wilson
America was born a Christian nation.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Life does not consist in thinking, it consists in acting.
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
The sum of the whole matter is this - our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be redeemed spiritually.
Woodrow Wilson
But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts
Woodrow Wilson
Every country is renewed out of the unknown ranks and not out of the ranks of those already famous and powerful and in control.
Woodrow Wilson
Property as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood in the American people, must take second place, not first place.
Woodrow Wilson
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
