More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The natural man inevitably rebels against mathematics, a mild form of torture that could only be learned by painful processes of drill.
Woodrow Wilson
Any man that resists the present tides that run in the world, will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and barren that it will seem he has been separated from his human kind forever.
Woodrow Wilson
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
Woodrow Wilson
The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name.... We must be impartial in thought as well as in actiona nationthat neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.
Woodrow Wilson
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
Only a peace between equals can last. Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit.
Woodrow Wilson
I firmly believe in Divine Providence. Without belief in Providence I think I should go crazy. Without God the world would be a maze without a clue.
Woodrow Wilson
No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property.
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
Things get very lonely in Washington sometimes. The real voice of the great people of America sometimes sounds faint and distant in that strange city. You hear politics until you wish that both parties were smothered in their own gas.
Woodrow Wilson
When the representatives of Big Business think of the people, they do not include themselves.
Woodrow Wilson
We are expected to put the utmost energy, of every power that we have, into the service of our fellow men, never sparing ourselves, not condescending to think of what is going to happen to ourselves, but ready, if need be, to go to the utter length of self-sacrifice.
Woodrow Wilson
Hunger does not breed reform it breeds madness and all the distemper's that make an ordered life impossible.
Woodrow Wilson
America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture.
Woodrow Wilson
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Woodrow Wilson
One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.
Woodrow Wilson
I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen.
Woodrow Wilson
There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight.
Woodrow Wilson
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
Woodrow Wilson
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.
