Summary

This quote by former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson conveys two ideas. First, it challenges the notion that a person can be too proud to fight, suggesting that defending oneself or one's principles may often be necessary. However, it also highlights the contrast between personal pride and national righteousness. Wilson argues that a truly righteous and just nation does not need to resort to force or convince others by means of aggression. It implies that the moral integrity and strength of conviction in one's beliefs can be more powerful and persuasive than the use of force.
