"The right is more precious than peace...." - Quote by Woodrow Wilson

“The presidential office is not a rosewater affair. This is an office in which a man must put on his war paint.”

“I am not one of those who believe that a great standing army is the means of maintaining peace, because if you build up a great profession those who form parts of it want to exercise their profession.”

“When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.”

“The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizens of this plight.”

“I like the power given the Legislature to levy taxes, and for that reason solely approve of the greater house being chosen by the people directly.”

“Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.”

“My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”

“The reason for having diplomatic relations is not to confer a compliment, but to secure a convenience. [On diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China]”

“The United States has every intention of continuing to do the kind of reconnaissance and surveillance work we have done for decades, well known to everyone, that is essential to protect our national security, and frankly, the security of our friends in various regions of the world. It is part of our collection system.”
