More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
There is no indispensable man.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is the history of limitations on the power of government, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human liberties.
Woodrow Wilson
A man's rootage is more important than his leafage.
Woodrow Wilson
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
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Woodrow Wilson
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
The light that shined upon the summit now seems almost to shine at our feet.
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
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
The man who disparages music as a luxury and non-essential is doing the nation an injury. Music now, more than ever before, is a national need.
Woodrow Wilson
When men take up arms to set other men free, there is something sacred and holy in the warfare.
Woodrow Wilson
There is one thing that the American people always rise to and extend their hand to and that is the truth of justice, and of liberty, and of peace. We have accepted that truth and we are going to led by itand through us the world, out into pastures of quietness and peace such as the world never dreamed of before.
Woodrow Wilson
No one who has read official documents needs to be told how easy it is to conceal the essential truth under the apparently candid and all- disclosing phrases of a voluminous and particularizing report.
Woodrow Wilson
We must believe the things We teach our children
Woodrow Wilson
The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific and now the plot thickenswith the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.
Woodrow Wilson
One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
Woodrow Wilson
People will endure their tyrants for years, but they tear their deliverers to pieces if a millennium is not created immediately.
Woodrow Wilson
While we are fighting for freedom, we must see, among other things, that labor is free.
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
No man can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
Woodrow Wilson
