More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.
Woodrow Wilson
When you come into the presence of a leader of men, you know that you have come into the presence of fire - that it is best not uncautiously to touch that man - that there is something that makes it dangerous to cross him.
Woodrow Wilson
...I do not want a government that will take care of me, I want a government that will make other men take their hands off me so I can take care of myself.
Woodrow Wilson
Thought cannot conceive of anything that may not be brought to expression. He who first uttered it may be only the suggester, but the doer will appear.
Woodrow Wilson
I want the people to love me, but I suppose they never will.
Woodrow Wilson
One of the proofs of the divinity of our gospel is the preaching it has survived.
Woodrow Wilson
His [the President's] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.
Woodrow Wilson
Things get very lonely in Washington sometimes. The real voice of the great people of America sometimes sounds faint and distant in that strange city. You hear politics until you wish that both parties were smothered in their own gas.
Woodrow Wilson
There are times when words seem empty and only actions seem great. Such a time has come, and in the Providence of God America will once more have an opportunity to show the world that she was born to save mankind.
Woodrow Wilson
You cannot, in human experience, rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight into the broadening day before the noon comes and the full sun is upon the landscape.
Woodrow Wilson
There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight.
Woodrow Wilson
I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.
Woodrow Wilson
It is a protest against the way the world has worked. (explanation of Bolshevism)
Woodrow Wilson
Let it be your pride to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are.
Woodrow Wilson
Let me... remind you that it is only by working with an energy which is almost superhuman and which looks to uninterested spectators like insanity that we can accomplish anything worth the achievement. Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.
Woodrow Wilson
We ought to regard ourselves and to act as socialists--believers in the wholesomeness and beneficence of the body politic.
Woodrow Wilson
The greatest and truest models for all oratorsis Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.
Woodrow Wilson
America was born a Christian nation.
Woodrow Wilson
We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world.
Woodrow Wilson
The commands of democracy are as imperative as its privileges and opportunities are wide and generous. Its compulsion is upon us.
