More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property.
Woodrow Wilson
No task, rightly done, is truly private. It is part of the world s work.
Woodrow Wilson
I confess my belief in the common man.... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn.
Woodrow Wilson
If you would be a leader of men you must lead your own generation, not the next. Your playing must be good now, while the play ison the boards and the audience in the seats.... It will not get you the repute of a good actor to have excellencies discovered in you afterwards.
Woodrow Wilson
When I think of the flag.... I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of liberty and justice, and stripes of blood to vindicate those rights, and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things.
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
We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite.
Woodrow Wilson
We ought to regard ourselves and to act as socialists--believers in the wholesomeness and beneficence of the body politic.
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
It has become a people's war, and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and variety of fortune, are involved inits sweeping processes of change and settlement.
Woodrow Wilson
There are blessed intervals when I forget by one means or another that I am President of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.
Woodrow Wilson
It is easier to move a cemetery than to change a curriculum.
Woodrow Wilson
As a matter of fact and experience, the more power is divided the more irresponsible it becomes.
Woodrow Wilson
The law that will work is merely the summing up in legislative form of the moral judgment that the community has already reached.
Woodrow Wilson
It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
Woodrow Wilson
And while you bring all countries with you, you come with a purpose of leaving all other countries behind you - bringing what is best of their spirit, but not looking over your shoulders and seeking to perpetuate what you intended to leave behind in them.
Woodrow Wilson
Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.
Woodrow Wilson
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose. No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic party. It seeks to use it to interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
