Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy.

More quotes by 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 something better, if possible, that a man can give than his life. That is his living spirit to a service that is not easy, to resist counsels that are hard to resist, to stand against purposes that are difficult to stand against.
Woodrow Wilson
At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.
Woodrow Wilson
I had rather have everybody on my side than be armed to the teeth.
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
The legislator must be in advance of his age. Across the mind of the statesman flash ever and anon the brilliant, though partial, intimations of future events.... Something which is more than fore-sight and less than prophetic knowledge marks the statesman a peculiar being among his contemporaries.
Woodrow Wilson
Americanism consists in utterly believing in the principles of America.
Woodrow Wilson
I am sorry for those that disagree with me because I know that they are wrong.
Woodrow Wilson
By 'radical,' I understand one who goes too far by 'conservative,' one who does not go far enough by 'reactionary,' one who won't go at all.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is not a warfare of interests.
Woodrow Wilson
We never found a real model (for our vision).
Woodrow Wilson
...to make the world safe for democracy.
Woodrow Wilson
There is no indispensable man.
Woodrow Wilson
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Woodrow Wilson
So far as the colleges go, the side-shows have swallowed up the circus, and we don't know what is going on in the main tent: and I don't want to continue as ringmaster under those conditions.
Woodrow Wilson
A conservative is a man who just sits and thinks, mostly sits.
Woodrow Wilson
The Americans who went to Europe to die are a unique breed.... (They) crossed the seas to a foreign land to fight for a cause which they did not pretend was peculiarly their own, which they knew was the cause of humanity and mankind. These Americans gave the greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.
Woodrow Wilson
No man can sit down and withhold his hands from the warfare against wrong and get peace from his acquiescence.
Woodrow Wilson
No student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know
