More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Bagehot did what so many thousand of young graduates before him had done,--he studied for the bar and then, having prepared himself to practise law, followed another large body of young men in deciding to abandon it.
Woodrow Wilson
If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.
Woodrow Wilson
There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.
Woodrow Wilson
Life does not consist in thinking, it consists in acting.
Woodrow Wilson
The method of political science is the interpretation of life its instrument is insight, a nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions.
Woodrow Wilson
That is Gladstone, the greatest statesman that ever lived. I intend to be a statesman, too.
Woodrow Wilson
There's not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else's brains.
Woodrow Wilson
Not all change is progress.
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
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
And when they [American soldiers] came, they found fit comrades for their courage and their devotion. ... Joining hands with these, the men of America gave that greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.
Woodrow Wilson
The way to be patriotic in America is not only to love America, but to love the duty that lies nearest to our hand, and to know that in performing it we are serving our country.
Woodrow Wilson
There is such a thing as man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.
Woodrow Wilson
A right is worth fighting for only when it can be put into operation.
Woodrow Wilson
War isn’t declared in the name of God it is a human affair entirely.
Woodrow Wilson
While we are fighting for freedom, we must see, among other things, that labor is free.
Woodrow Wilson
The right is more precious than peace.
Woodrow Wilson
The nation's honor is dearer than the nation's comfort.
Woodrow Wilson
The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose. No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic party. It seeks to use it to interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
Woodrow Wilson
Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose.
Woodrow Wilson
