More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
It would be the irony of fate if my administration had to deal chiefly with foreign affairs.
Woodrow Wilson
I have sometimes heard men say politics must have nothing to do with business, and I have often wished that business had nothing to do with politics.
Woodrow Wilson
Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.
Woodrow Wilson
I am not one of those who believe that a great standing army is the means of maintaining peace, because if you build up a great profession those who form parts of it want to exercise their profession.
Woodrow Wilson
The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
Woodrow Wilson
My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.
Woodrow Wilson
I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
Woodrow Wilson
The profession I chose was politics the profession I entered was law. I entered the one because I thought it would lead to the other.
Woodrow Wilson
I had rather be defeated in a cause that will ultimately triumph than triumph in a cause that will ultimately be defeated.
Woodrow Wilson
Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.
Woodrow Wilson
Any man that resists the present tides that run in the world, will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and barren that it will seem he has been separated from his human kind forever.
Woodrow Wilson
No man ever saw a government. I live in the midst of the Government of the United States, but I never saw the Government of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
It is imperative that we should not only master them, but also act upon them, and act very definitely.
Woodrow Wilson
Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power, and to set up among the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles.
Woodrow Wilson
Not all change is progress.
Woodrow Wilson
It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
Woodrow Wilson
If you lose your wealth, you have lost nothing if you lose your health, you have lost something but if you lose your character, you have lost everything.
Woodrow Wilson
They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination they pursue persons and objects that never existed they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,--and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.
Woodrow Wilson
You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.
Woodrow Wilson
An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of Democracy
