More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
You cannot, in human experience, rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight into the broadening day before the noon comes and the full sun is upon the landscape.
Woodrow Wilson
No people are true Christians who do not think constantly of how they can lift their brother and sister, how they can assist their friends, how they can enlighten mankind, how they can make virtue the rule of conduct in the circle in which they live.
Woodrow Wilson
Not all change is progress.
Woodrow Wilson
The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of thecivilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.
Woodrow Wilson
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Woodrow Wilson
I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose.
Woodrow Wilson
We grow by our dreams.
Woodrow Wilson
...men are not put into this world to go the path of ease, they are put into this world to go the path of pain and struggle.
Woodrow Wilson
Surely a man has come to himself only when he has found the best that is in him, and has satisfied his heart with the highest achievement he is fit for.
Woodrow Wilson
You have just taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Of allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to no one, unless it be God. Certainly not of allegiance to those who temporarily represent this great government. You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of the human race.
Woodrow Wilson
Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide.
Woodrow Wilson
You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.
Woodrow Wilson
Benevolence does not consist in those who are prosperous pitying and helping those who are not. It consists in fellow feeling that puts you upon actually the same level with the fellow who suffers.
Woodrow Wilson
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
Segregation is not humiliating but a benefit...
Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
High society is for those who have stopped working and no longer have anything important to do.
Woodrow Wilson
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make.
Woodrow Wilson
No man that does not see visions will ever realize any high hope or undertake any high enterprise.
Woodrow Wilson
Only peace between equals can last.
Woodrow Wilson
