Image
Opinion is the great, indeed the only coordinating force in our system.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No thoughtful man ever came to the end of his life, and had time and a little space of calm from which to look back upon it, who did not know and acknowledge that it was what he had done unselfishly and for others, and nothing else, that satisfied him in the retrospect, and made him feel that he had played the man.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
An evident principleis the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We didn't have another choice but to do what we did, if we wanted to be accepted, because we weren't counted as human beings.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We are not put into this world to sit still and know we are put into it to act.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Every great man of business has got somewhere a touch of the idealist in him.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There's not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else's brains.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There is no indispensable man. The government will not collapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be entrusted with its guidance should be left at home.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There is no cause half so sacred as the cause of the people. There is no idea so uplifting as the idea of the service of humanity.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
It is not men that interest or disturb me primarily it is ideas. Ideas live men die.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
A man is not as big as his belief in himself he is as big as the number of persons who believe in him.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
We [Americans] have a great ardor for gain but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I have sometimes heard men say politics must have nothing to do with business, and I have often wished that business had nothing to do with politics.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Character, my friends, is a byproduct. It is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
For my part, I am very much more afraid of the man who does a bad thing and does not know it is bad than of the man who does a bad thing and knows it is bad because I think that in public affairs stupidity is more dangerous than knavery, because harder to fight and dislodge.
