By Woodrow Wilson Dreams Grow Great Dreamers Evening

He has lost touch with the ideal of America. For America was created to unit mankind ... By Woodrow Wilson Humanity America Urgent Advice Love

Our ships are our natural bulwarks. By Woodrow Wilson Defense Navy Conquest Powerful Regarded

The only way your powers can become great is by exerting them outside the circle of your own narrow, special, selfish interests. And that is the reason of Christianity.

A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom.

Let no man suppose that progress can be divorced from religion, or that there is any other platform for the ministers of reform than the platform written in the utterances of our Lord and Savior. America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture.

By Woodrow Wilson Lobby Washington Numerous Seldom Industrious

The greatest and truest models for all oratorsis Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public.

I come from the South and I know what war is, for I have seen its terrible wreckage and ruin. It is easy for me as President to declare war.

By Woodrow Wilson South Ruin War Terrible Wreckage
