Quote

We have not given science too big a place in our education, but we have made a perilous mistake in giving it too great a preponderance in method in every other branch of study.

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Image
I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No man can sit down and withhold his hands from the warfare against wrong and get peace from his acquiescence.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The men who act stand nearer to the mass of man than the men who write and it is in their hands that new thought gets its translation into the crude language of deeds.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
What every man seeks is satisfaction. He deceives himself so long as he imagines it to lie in self-indulgence.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The greatest and truest models for all oratorsis Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
By 'radical,' I understand one who goes too far by 'conservative,' one who does not go far enough by 'reactionary,' one who won't go at all.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The literary gift is a very dangerous gift to possess if you are not telling the truth, and I would a great deal rather, for my part, have a man stumble in his speech than to feel he was so exceedingly smooth that he had better be watched both day and night.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
War is only a sort of dramatic representation, a sort of dramatic symbol of a thousand forms of duty. I fancy that it is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shooting at you.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We never found a real model (for our vision).
Woodrow Wilson
Image
From the dim morning hours of history when the father was king and priest down to this modern time of history's high noon when nations stand forth full grown and self-governed, the law of coherence and continuity in political development has suffered no serious breach.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of a free people.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
