More quotes by 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
A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world who has deprived himself of this.
Woodrow Wilson
And while you bring all countries with you, you come with a purpose of leaving all other countries behind you - bringing what is best of their spirit, but not looking over your shoulders and seeking to perpetuate what you intended to leave behind in them.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.
Woodrow Wilson
A man is not as big as his belief in himself he is as big as the number of persons who believe in him.

We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.
Woodrow Wilson
The Bible is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life, the nature of God and spiritual nature and need of men. It is the only guide of life which really leads the spirit in the way of peace and salvation.
Woodrow Wilson
When correcting a child, the goal is to apply light, not heat.
Woodrow Wilson
Today's greatest labor-saving device is tomorrow.
Woodrow Wilson
The Americans who went to Europe to die are a unique breed.... (They) crossed the seas to a foreign land to fight for a cause which they did not pretend was peculiarly their own, which they knew was the cause of humanity and mankind. These Americans gave the greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.
Woodrow Wilson
