Woodrow Wilson Quotes:
Ocupation: 28th U.S. President
Life: December 28, 1856 - February 3, 1924
Birthday: December 28
Death: February 3
The example of America must be the example not merely of peace because it will not fight, but of peace because peace is the healing and elevating influence of the world, and strife is not. There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.
