More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
You must act in your friends' interests whether it pleases them or not the object of love is to serve, not to win.
Woodrow Wilson
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
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
Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto.
Woodrow Wilson
The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific and now the plot thickenswith the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.
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
Some Americans need hyphens in their names, because only part of them has come over but when the whole man has come over, heart and thought and all, the hyphen drops of its own weight out of his name.
Woodrow Wilson
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.
Woodrow Wilson
I want the people to love me, but I suppose they never will.
Woodrow Wilson
The Government of the United States would be constrained to hold the Imperial German government to a strict accountability for such acts of their naval authorities.
Woodrow Wilson
Generally young men are regarded as radicals. This is a popular misconception. The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The radicals are the men past middle life.
Woodrow Wilson
The truth is we are all caught in a great economic system which is heartless.
Woodrow Wilson
There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Woodrow Wilson
Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
Woodrow Wilson
Death, like the quintessence of otherness, is for others.
Woodrow Wilson
My best training came from my father.
Woodrow Wilson
All things come to him who waits - provided he knows what he is waiting for.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag is a flag of liberty of opinion as well as of political liberty.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
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.
