A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American. And the man who goes among you to trade upon your nationality is no worthy son to live under the Stars and Stripes.

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
A presidential campaign may easily degenerate into a mere personal contest, and so lose its real dignity. There is no indispensable man.
Woodrow Wilson
I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
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
If the colored people made a mistake in voting for me, they ought to correct it.
Woodrow Wilson
The Government of the United States would be constrained to hold the Imperial German government to a strict accountability for such acts of their naval authorities.
Woodrow Wilson
Have you thought of the sufferings of Armenia? You poured out your money to help succor the Armenians after they suffered now set your strength so that they shall never suffer again.
Woodrow Wilson
I am the friend of peace and mean to preserve it for America so long as I am able. . . . No course of my choosing or of their (nations at war) will lead to war. War can come only by the wilful acts and aggressions of others.
Woodrow Wilson
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
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
To do things today exactly the way you did them yesterday saves thinking.
Woodrow Wilson
The masters of the government of the United States are the combined capitalists and manufacturers of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
The difference between a strong man and a weak one is that the former does not give up after a defeat.
Woodrow Wilson
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
Woodrow Wilson
No man has ever risen to the stature of spiritual manhood until he has found that it is finer to serve somebody else than it is to serve himself.
Woodrow Wilson
America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
Man is much more than a 'rational being' and lives more by sympathies and impressions than by conclusions. It darkens his eyes and dries up the wells of his humanity to be forever in search of doctrine. We need wholesome, experiencing natures, I dare affirm, much more than we need sound reasoning.
Woodrow Wilson
As a matter of fact and experience, the more power is divided the more irresponsible it becomes.
Woodrow Wilson
It is imperative that we should not only master them, but also act upon them, and act very definitely.
Woodrow Wilson
No one who has read official documents needs to be told how easy it is to conceal the essential truth under the apparently candid and all- disclosing phrases of a voluminous and particularizing report.
Woodrow Wilson
Life does not consist in thinking, it consists in acting.
Woodrow Wilson
