“But 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 right of those 
who submit to authority to have a voice in their own gov- 
ernment, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a 
universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peo- 
ples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make 
the world itself at last free. 
“To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our 
fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we 
have, with the pride of those who know that the day has 
come when America is privileged to spend her blood and 
her might for the principles that gave her birth and happi- 
ness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping 
her, she can do no other.” 
— President Wilson.
