I had rather have everybody on my side than be armed to the teeth.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
To do things today exactly the way you did them yesterday saves thinking.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If the colored people made a mistake in voting for me, they ought to correct it.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No man that does not see visions will ever realize any high hope or undertake any high enterprise.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There's not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else's brains.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We are in the presence of a new organization of society. Our life has broken away from the past.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The whole purpose of democracy is that we may hold counsel with one another, so as not to depend upon the understanding of one man.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The trouble with the theory [of limited and divided government] is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. This is where the living and breathing constitution comes from. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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.
Woodrow Wilson

The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Only peace between equals can last.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Property as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood in the American people, must take second place, not first place.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The growth of our nation and all its activities are in the hands of a few men.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I am a most unhappy man. I accidentally ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. Our government is no longer based on the freedom of opinion, nor on the conviction and the majority decision, it is now a government which is subjected to the conviction and the compulsion of a small group of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
To conquer with arms is to make only a temporary conquest to conquer the world by earning its esteem is to make a permanent conquest.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.
