More Election Eve wisdom from former New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson
Edited on Mon Nov-07-05 04:14 PM by ih8thegop
(Also see my post with quotes from former Virginia Governor Thomas Jefferson)

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson

"Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation."

"No nation is fit to sit in judgement upon any other nation."

"I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose."

"Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it... The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it."

"The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty

"A conservative is a man who sits and thinks, mostly sits."

"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 history of liberty is a history of resistance."
