"The right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts---for democracy!
For the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free".
Woodrow Wilson
