You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
From Woodrow Wilson
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
Interest does not tie nations together; it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.
That a peasant may become king does not render the kingdom democratic.
Property as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood in the American people, must take second place, not first place.
Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel. We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.
There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with.
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
In the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.
