Woodrow Wilson The New Freedom , Chap. 4 , “Life comes from soil” .
How all the nations of the earth wait to see what America is going to do with her power . .. But what has made us strong? The toil of millions of men , the toil of men who do not boast who are in conspicuous , but who live their life humbly from day to day. It is the great body of toilers that constitutes the might of America. It is one of the glories of our land that nobody is able to predict , from what family , from what region , from what race , even , the leaders of the countrγare going .to come. “One cool judgement is worth a thousand hasty council. The thing to do is to sup.ply light and not heat. ” ( The New Freedom , p. 245)
