More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
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
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
...We are intensely proud of their noble record and are glad to have had the whole world see how irresistible they are in their might when a cause which America holds dear is at stake. The whole nation has reason to be proud of them.
Woodrow Wilson
It is imperative that we should not only master them, but also act upon them, and act very definitely.
Woodrow Wilson
Provision for others is a fundamental responsibility of human life.
Woodrow Wilson
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.
Woodrow Wilson
There's not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else's brains.
Woodrow Wilson
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.
Woodrow Wilson
We live in an age disturbed, confused, bewildered, afraid of its own forces, in search not merely of its road but even of its direction
Woodrow Wilson
It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilizationitself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things we have always carried closest to our hearts.
Woodrow Wilson
I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool, the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking.
Woodrow Wilson
I am a most unhappy man. I accidentally ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. Our government is no longer based on the freedom of opinion, nor on the conviction and the majority decision, it is now a government which is subjected to the conviction and the compulsion of a small group of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
If I cannot retain my moral influence over a man except by occasionally knocking him down, if that is the only basis upon which he will respect me, then for the sake of his soul I have got occasionally to knock him down.
Woodrow Wilson
You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand
Woodrow Wilson
No man ever saw a government. I live in the midst of the Government of the United States, but I never saw the Government of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
Great statesmen seem to direct and rule by a sort of power to put themselves in the place of the nation over which they are set, and may thus be said to possess the souls of poets at the same time they display the coarser sense and the more vulgar sagacity of practical men of business.
Woodrow Wilson
Politics is a war of causes a joust of principles. Government is too serious a matter to admit of meaningless courtesies.
Woodrow Wilson
We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.
Woodrow Wilson
