Their co-operation is indispensable, their warfare fatal. There can be no successful government without the intimate, instinctive co-ordination of the organs of life and action.<ref>[http://www.heritage.org/initiatives/first-principles/primary-sources/woodrow-wilson-asks-what-is-progress Woodrow Wilson Asks "What Is Progress?"]</ref></blockquote>
