"Your enlightenment depends on the company you..." - Quote by Woodrow Wilson

“Only a peace between equals can last. Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit.”

“So far as the colleges go, the side-shows have swallowed up the circus, and we don't know what is going on in the main tent: and I don't want to continue as ringmaster under those conditions.”

“The cure for bad politics is the same as the cure for tuberculosis. It is living in the open.”

“As a leader... I have always endeavored to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion. Oftentimes, my own opinion will simply represent a consensus of what I heard in the discussion. I always remember the axiom; a leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”

“Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.”

“Raise your words, not your voice.”

“Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.”

“What can we say with certainty?”

“Reason must approach nature with the view, indeed, of receiving information from it, not, however, in the character of a pupil, who listens to all that his master chooses to tell him, but in that of a judge, who compels the witnesses to reply to those questions which he himself thinks fit to propose. To this single idea must the revolution be ascribed, by which, after groping in the dark for so many centuries, natural science was at length conducted into the path of certain progress.”
