I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.

Woodrow Wilson
Image
Our civilization cannot survive materially unless it is redeemed spiritually. It can be saved only by becoming permeated with the Spirit of Christ, and being made free and happy by practices which spring out of that spirit. Only thus can discontent be driven out and all shadows lifted from the road ahead.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Neutrality is a negative word. It is a word that does not express what America ought to feel. America has a heart, and that heart throbs with all sorts of intense sympathies... We are not trying to keep out of trouble we are trying to preserve the foundations upon which peace can be rebuilt.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The light that shined upon the summit now seems almost to shine at our feet.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Only peace between equals can last.
Woodrow Wilson

Every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live.

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Woodrow Wilson
