    “My Dear Friend.... We have known one another always.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “I believe that Harmon would be the easiest to defeat, though he might gain much strength from the Republicans. Clark would surely lose New York. I am beginning to feel that by some stroke of genius they may name Woodrow Wilson, and that seems a pretty hard tussle.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “He is a friend of all just men and a lover of the right; and he knows more than how to talk about the right—he knows how to set it forward in the face of its enemies.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
    About the center of the silent Word.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
