More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
Some Americans need hyphens in their names because only part of them has come over.
Woodrow Wilson
No man can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
Woodrow Wilson
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse.
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
Once lead this people into war, and they'll forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance. To fight, you must be brutal and ruthless, and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fiber of our national life, infecting Congress, the courts, the policeman on the beat, the man in the street.
Woodrow Wilson
I'm a vague, conjunctured personality, more made up of opinions and academic prepossessions than of human traits and red corpuscles.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse. Untrammeled reasoning is the indulgence of the philosopher, of the dreamer of sweet dreams.
Woodrow Wilson
The seed of revolution is repression.
Woodrow Wilson
I am not one of those who believe that a great standing army is the means of maintaining peace, because if you build up a great profession those who form parts of it want to exercise their profession.
Woodrow Wilson
...to make the world safe for democracy.
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 Constitution was not made to fit us like a straitjacket. In its elasticity lies its chief greatness.
Woodrow Wilson
The natural man inevitably rebels against mathematics, a mild form of torture that could only be learned by painful processes of drill.
Woodrow Wilson
Life does not consist in thinking, it consists in acting.
Woodrow Wilson
Washington has seldom seen so numerous, so industrious or so insidious a lobby. There is every evidence that money without limit is being spent to sustain this lobby.... I know that in this I am speaking for the members of the two houses, who would rejoice as much as I would to be released from this unbearable situation.
Woodrow Wilson
The truth is we are all caught in a great economic system which is heartless.
Woodrow Wilson
It is not men that interest or disturb me primarily it is ideas. Ideas live men die.
Woodrow Wilson
All things come to him who waits
Woodrow Wilson
