Excerpt from The Wisdom of Woodrow Wilson: Being Selections From His Thoughts and Comments on Political, Social and Moral Questions

What are the strange powers that have made of a one-time teacher of youth a supreme leader of men, a universally acclaimed champion of freedom for all the world?

A well-stored mind, a pitiless logic, a retentive memory, a felicitous turn of phrase, a wisdom serene yet vibrant, a happy gift of coining aphorism containing multum in parvo, a states-manlike grasp of affairs, an eloquent tongue that never fails, an interpretation of advanced thought in an era fermenting with new ideas, a tireless energy and enormous driving force, - when one speaks of these excellent and choice qualities, one has but scratched the surface. The core of his being, his inmost soul, has not been touched upon.
