More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Absolute identity with one's cause is the first and great condition of successful leadership.
Woodrow Wilson
The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name.... We must be impartial in thought as well as in actiona nationthat neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.
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
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
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
Never murder a man when he's busy committing suicide.
Woodrow Wilson
The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of a great people. Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.
Woodrow Wilson
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.
Woodrow Wilson
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.
Woodrow Wilson
Scholarship cannot do without literature.... It needs literature to float it, to set it current, to authenticate it to all the race, to get it out of closets and into the brains of men who stir abroad.
Woodrow Wilson
No student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know
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
I am not sure that it is of the first importance that you should be happy. Many an unhappy man has been of deep service to himself and to the world.
Woodrow Wilson
When the representatives of Big Business think of the people, they do not include themselves.
Woodrow Wilson
Energy in a nation is like sap in a tree it rises from bottom up.
Woodrow Wilson
It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilizationitself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things we have always carried closest to our hearts.
Woodrow Wilson
There is no indispensable man.
Woodrow Wilson
Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto.
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
It is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shouting at you.
Woodrow Wilson
