Woodrow Wilson Quotes, War Quotes, Heart Quotes

It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilizationitself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things we have always carried closest to our hearts.

Be militant! Be an organization that is going to do things!
