Additional quotes by Woodrow Wilson

The use of a university is to make young gentlemen as unlike their fathers as possible. [“The Power of Christian Young Men”, Address at the Young Men's Christian Association's Celebration, Pittsburgh, October 24, 1914]

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. I do not have to fight, and neither do the gentlemen on the Hill who now clamor for it. It is some poor farmer's boy, or the son of some poor widow - who will have to do the fighting and dying.
