The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
For my part, I am very much more afraid of the man who does a bad thing and does not know it is bad than of the man who does a bad thing and knows it is bad because I think that in public affairs stupidity is more dangerous than knavery, because harder to fight and dislodge.
Woodrow Wilson
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.
Woodrow Wilson
To be free is not necessarily to be wise. Wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest.
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
Every one at the bottom of his heart cherishes vanity even the toad thinks himself good-looking,--rather tawny perhaps, but look at his eye!
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
Princeton is no longer a thing for Princeton men to please themselves with. Princeton is a thing with which Princeton men must satisfy the country.
Woodrow Wilson
The truth is we are all caught in a great economic system which is heartless.
Woodrow Wilson
Settlements may be temporary, but the action of the nations in the interest of peace and justice must be permanent. We can set up permanent processes. We may not be able to set up permanent decisions.
Woodrow Wilson
There will be no greater burden on our generation than to organize the forces of liberty in our time in order to make our quest ofa new freedom for America.
Woodrow Wilson
All things come to him who waits - provided he knows what he is waiting for.
Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
I believe in Democracy because it releases the energies of every human being.
Woodrow Wilson
You have just taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Of allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to no one, unless it be God. Certainly not of allegiance to those who temporarily represent this great government. You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of the human race.
Woodrow Wilson
The seed of revolution is repression.
Woodrow Wilson
It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilizationitself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things we have always carried closest to our hearts.
Woodrow Wilson
I would not speak with disrespect of the Republican Party. I always speak with great respect of the past.
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
I have come slowly into possession of such powers as I have. I receive the opinions of my day. I do not conceive them. But I receive them into a vivid mind.
Woodrow Wilson
The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples' characters: he cares much--everything--for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power others simply the materials on which that power operates.
Woodrow Wilson
