Woodrow Wilson
If you would be a leader of men you must lead your own generation, not the next. Your playing must be good now, while the play ison the boards and the audience in the seats.... It will not get you the repute of a good actor to have excellencies discovered in you afterwards.
Woodrow Wilson
The seed of revolution is repression.
Woodrow Wilson
The facts of the case will always have the better of [an] argument.
Woodrow Wilson
Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand--that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
Woodrow Wilson
I am one who fights without a knack of hoping confidentlysimply a Scotch-Irishman who will not be conquered.
Woodrow Wilson
There is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson
I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
Woodrow Wilson
I do not want to live under a philanthropy. I do not want to be taken care of by the government.... We do not want a benevolent government. We want a free and a just government.
Woodrow Wilson
