More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Benevolence does not consist in those who are prosperous pitying and helping those who are not. It consists in fellow feeling that puts you upon actually the same level with the fellow who suffers.
Woodrow Wilson
The world can be at peace only if the world is stable, and there can be no stability where the will is in rebellion, where there is not tranquility of spirit and a sense of justice, of freedom, and of right.
Woodrow Wilson
A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who disparages music as a luxury and non-essential is doing the nation an injury. Music now, more than ever before, is a national need.
Woodrow Wilson
I have no happy fairyland vision that she can win.
Woodrow Wilson
I have rather a strange objection to talking from the back platform of a train.... It changes too often. It moves around and shifts its ground too often. I like a platform that stays put.
Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
It does not become America that within her borders, where every man is free to follow the dictates of his conscience, men should raise the cry of church against church. To do that is to strike at the very spirit and heart of America.
Woodrow Wilson
Such a mind we must desire to see in a woman,--a mind that stirs without irritating you, that arouses but does not belabour, amuses and yet subtly instructs.
Woodrow Wilson
The facts of the case will always have the better of [an] argument.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse.
Woodrow Wilson
One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
Woodrow Wilson
This was not after all a conventional war, a struggle between equally predacious powers it was a war to end all wars.
Woodrow Wilson
If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation if an hour, I am ready now.
Woodrow Wilson
You cannot tear up ancient rootages and safely plant the tree of liberty in soil that is not native to it.
Woodrow Wilson
Let me... remind you that it is only by working with an energy which is almost superhuman and which looks to uninterested spectators like insanity that we can accomplish anything worth the achievement. Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.
Woodrow Wilson
The soul of me is very selfish. I have gone my way after a fashion that made me the center of the plan. And you who are so individual, who are so independent a spirit, whose soul is also a kingdom, have been so loyal, so forgiving, so self-sacrificing in your willingness to live my life. Nothing but love cold have accomplished so wonderful a thing.
Woodrow Wilson
There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
Woodrow Wilson
Death, like the quintessence of otherness, is for others.
Woodrow Wilson
Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.
