In this context, one must not forget that this “statesman” still towers head and shoulders above the abstract dilettante Woodrow Wilson, by whom the whole world allowed itself to be seduced at a certain moment in European development. In such matters one was indeed, in certain periods, a “preacher in the wilderness”. In the times when the whole world worshipped Woodrow Wilson, I here in Switzerland repeatedly said exactly the same things about Woodrow Wilson that I am saying to you today. Now the world is beginning to realize, too late, how unrealistic Woodrow Wilson's policies are. And people who sat with him at the Versailles Conference were amazed at how little even the most rudimentary instinct for reality this man brought with him from America to Europe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Twelfth Lecture","site_heading":"Consciousness Evolution: Atlantean Divergence and Christian Incarnation","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.
