This was not after all a conventional war, a struggle between equally predacious powers it was a war to end all wars.

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
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
Every one at the bottom of his heart cherishes vanity even the toad thinks himself good-looking,--rather tawny perhaps, but look at his eye!
Woodrow Wilson
I am so glad that I am young, so that I may give my youth to you.
Woodrow Wilson
My dream of politics all my life has been that it is the common business, that it is something we owe to each other to understand and discuss with absolute frankness.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.
Woodrow Wilson
War isn’t declared in the name of God it is a human affair entirely.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
Woodrow Wilson
Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.
Woodrow Wilson
Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end, and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own.
Woodrow Wilson
Jefferson's Declaration of Independence is a practical document for the use of practical men. It is not a thesis for philosophers, but a whip for tyrants it is not a theory of government but a program of action.
Woodrow Wilson
A sure sign of an amateur is too much detail to compensate for too little life.
Woodrow Wilson
The trouble with the theory [of limited and divided government] is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. This is where the living and breathing constitution comes from. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life.
Woodrow Wilson
What is at the heart of all national problems? It is that we have seen the hand of material interest sometimes about to close upon our dearest rights and possessions.
Woodrow Wilson
Some people have a large circle of friends while others have only friends that they like.
Woodrow Wilson
We are expected to put the utmost energy, of every power that we have, into the service of our fellow men, never sparing ourselves, not condescending to think of what is going to happen to ourselves, but ready, if need be, to go to the utter length of self-sacrifice.
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
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make.
Woodrow Wilson
The beauty of a democracy is that you never can tell when a youngster is born what he is going to do with himself, and that no matter how humbly he is born, no matter where he is born, no matter what circumstances hamper him at the outset, he has got a chance to master the minds and lead the imaginations of the whole country.
Woodrow Wilson
The Civil War created in this country what had never existed before - a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union it was the rebirth of the Union.
Woodrow Wilson
Understanding is the soil in which grow all the fruits of friendship.
Woodrow Wilson
