Image
Such a mind we must desire to see in a woman,--a mind that stirs without irritating you, that arouses but does not belabour, amuses and yet subtly instructs.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples' characters: he cares much--everything--for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power others simply the materials on which that power operates.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If you lose your wealth, you have lost nothing if you lose your health, you have lost something but if you lose your character, you have lost everything.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Your real statesman is first of all, and chief of all, a great human being, with an eye for all the great fields on which men likehimself struggle, with unflagging, pathetic hope, toward better things.... He is a guide, a counselor, a mentor, a servant, a friend of mankind.

The greatest and truest models for all oratorsis Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.

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
Image
Conservatism is the policy of make no change and consult your grandmother when in doubt.
Woodrow Wilson

A living thing is born.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart ever since I was a boy.... So I feel tonight like the man who is lodging happily in the inn which lies half way along the journey and that in time, with a fresh impulse, we shall go the rest of the journey and sleep at the journey's end like men with a quiet conscience.
Woodrow Wilson

It must be a peace without victory
Woodrow Wilson
Image
A presidential campaign may easily degenerate into a mere personal contest, and so lose its real dignity. There is no indispensable man.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
That is Gladstone, the greatest statesman that ever lived. I intend to be a statesman, too.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
All the extraordinary men I have ever known were chiefly extraordinary in their own estimation.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
This was not after all a conventional war, a struggle between equally predacious powers it was a war to end all wars.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The Constitution was not made to fit us like a straitjacket. In its elasticity lies its chief greatness.

Wilson was once asked how long it took him to write a speech. He answered, 'That depends. If I am to speak 10 minutes, I need a week for preparation. If 15 minutes, 3 days. If half hour, two days. If an hour, I am ready now.'
