This book is a collection of 205 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Woodrow Wilson: "I would ... rather lose in a cause that I know some day will triumph than triumph in a cause that I know some day will lose." "I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty." "The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people." "A man is not as big as his belief in himself; he is as big as the number of persons who believe in him." "America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal - to discover and maintain liberty among men." "Fear God and you need not fear anyone else."
