Wilson Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words wilson and/or bridge:

“Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel.... We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
