Woodrow Wilson
Government is not a warfare of interests.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
All things come to him who waits - provided he knows what he is waiting for.
Woodrow Wilson
I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose.
Woodrow Wilson
You cannot tear up ancient rootages and safely plant the tree of liberty in soil that is not native to it.
Woodrow Wilson
Scholarship cannot do without literature.... It needs literature to float it, to set it current, to authenticate it to all the race, to get it out of closets and into the brains of men who stir abroad.
Woodrow Wilson
