Woodrow Wilson Quotes : pic 000162855
My urgent advice to you would be, not only always to think first of America, but always, also, to think first of humanity. You do not love humanity if you seek to divide humanity into jealous camps.

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

Woodrow Wilson Quotes : pic 000456050
The nature of men and of organized society dictates the maintenance in every field of action of the highest and purest standards of justice and of right dealing ...

Woodrow Wilson Quotes : pic 000531459
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.

By Woodrow Wilson Special Narrow Selfish Interests Circle

In fundamental theory socialism and democracy are almost if not quite one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.

It must be a peace without victory ... Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished.
