It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
Woodrow WilsonI came from the South and I know what war is, for I have seen its wreckage and terrible 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 clamour for it. It is some poor farmer's boy, or son of some poor widow away off in some modest community, or perhaps the scion of a great family, who will have to do the fighting.
Woodrow WilsonProperty as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood in the American people, must take second place, not first place.
