More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who reads everything is like the man who eats everything: he can digest nothing, and the penalty of crowding one's mind with other men's thoughts is to have no thoughts of one's own.
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
There's not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else's brains.
Woodrow Wilson
The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people.
Woodrow Wilson
The sum of the whole matter is this - our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be redeemed spiritually.
Woodrow Wilson
I am not sure that it is of the first importance that you should be happy. Many an unhappy man has been of deep service to himself and to the world.

Woodrow Wilson
We live in an age disturbed, confused, bewildered, afraid of its own forces, in search not merely of its road but even of its direction
Woodrow Wilson
Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is the history of limitations on the power of government, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human liberties.
Woodrow Wilson
The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him-not even to consent to it but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
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
Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.
Woodrow Wilson
Such a mind we must desire to see in a woman,--a mind that stirs without irritating you, that arouses but does not belabour, amuses and yet subtly instructs.
Woodrow Wilson
No government has ever been beneficent when the attitude of government was that it was taking care of the people. The only freedom consists in the people taking care of the government.
Woodrow Wilson
Liberty does not consist in mere declarations of the rights of man. It consists in the translation of those declarations into definite action.

The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
Woodrow Wilson
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
