More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Energy in a nation is like sap in a tree it rises from bottom up.
Woodrow Wilson
There is no indispensable man. The government will not collapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be entrusted with its guidance should be left at home.
Woodrow Wilson
This is history written in lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American. And the man who goes among you to trade upon your nationality is no worthy son to live under the Stars and Stripes.
Woodrow Wilson
The right is more precious than peace.
Woodrow Wilson
America is not a mere body of traders it is a body of free men. Our greatness is built upon our freedom - is moral, not material. We have a great ardor for gain but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
Woodrow Wilson
The soul of me is very selfish. I have gone my way after a fashion that made me the center of the plan. And you who are so individual, who are so independent a spirit, whose soul is also a kingdom, have been so loyal, so forgiving, so self-sacrificing in your willingness to live my life. Nothing but love cold have accomplished so wonderful a thing.
Woodrow Wilson
As compared with the college politician, the real article seems like an amateur.
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
Here lies, in a horizontal position The outside case of Peter Pendulum, watch-maker. He departed this life wound up In hopes of being taken in hand by his Maker, And of being thoroughly cleaned, repaired and set a-going In the world to come.
Woodrow Wilson
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
I want to re-echo my hope that we may all work together for a great peace as distinguished from a mean peace.
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
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
I must beg you to indulge me in the matter of hyphens.... You will find that I have marked out a great many in the proofs. We arein danger of Germanizing our printing by using them so much, and I have a very decided preference in the matter.
Woodrow Wilson
A sure sign of an amateur is too much detail to compensate for too little life.
Woodrow Wilson
But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts
Woodrow Wilson
It must be a peace without victory
Woodrow Wilson
In the last analysis, my fellow country men, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are responsible for the acts of their government.
Woodrow Wilson
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
