More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
Bagehot did what so many thousand of young graduates before him had done,--he studied for the bar and then, having prepared himself to practise law, followed another large body of young men in deciding to abandon it.
Woodrow Wilson
There is here a great melting pot in which we must compound a precious metal. That metal is the metal of nationality.
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
Scholarship cannot do without literature.... It needs literature to float it, to set it current, to authenticate it to all the race, to get it out of closets and into the brains of men who stir abroad.
Woodrow Wilson
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
Woodrow Wilson
The presidential office is not a rosewater affair. This is an office in which a man must put on his war paint.
Woodrow Wilson
There is something better, if possible, that a man can give than his life. That is his living spirit to a service that is not easy, to resist counsels that are hard to resist, to stand against purposes that are difficult to stand against.
Woodrow Wilson
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
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.
Woodrow Wilson
If you wish your children to be Christians you must really take the trouble to be Christian yourselves. Those are the only terms upon which the home will work the gracious miracle.
Woodrow Wilson
A man's rootage is more important than his leafage.
Woodrow Wilson
We have beaten the living, but we cannot fight the dead.
Woodrow Wilson
It is imperative that we should not only master them, but also act upon them, and act very definitely.
Woodrow Wilson
I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool, the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is not a warfare of interests.
Woodrow Wilson
They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination they pursue persons and objects that never existed they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,--and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.
Woodrow Wilson
This was not after all a conventional war, a struggle between equally predacious powers it was a war to end all wars.
Woodrow Wilson
I have the feeling that he would rather see a good cause fail than succeed if he were not the head of it.
Woodrow Wilson
There was a time when corporations played a minor part in our business affairs, but now they play the chief part, and most men are the servants of corporations.
