Quote

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.

I had rather be defeated in a cause that will ultimately triumph than triumph in a cause that will ultimately be defeated.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
God knows that any man who would seek the presidency of the United States is a fool for his pains. The burden is all but intolerable, and the things that I have to do are just as much as the human spirit can carry.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The fewer the desires, the more peace.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No man can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
Woodrow Wilson

A fault which humbles a person is of more use to him or her than a good action which puffs him or her up.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Neutrality is a negative word. It is a word that does not express what America ought to feel. America has a heart, and that heart throbs with all sorts of intense sympathies... We are not trying to keep out of trouble we are trying to preserve the foundations upon which peace can be rebuilt.

Woodrow Wilson
Image
The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him-not even to consent to it but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
This little world, this little state, this little commonwealth of our own.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
I am sorry for those that disagree with me because I know that they are wrong.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination they pursue persons and objects that never existed they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,--and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No man ever saw a government. I live in the midst of the Government of the United States, but I never saw the Government of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The law that will work is merely the summing up in legislative form of the moral judgment that the community has already reached.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
...I do not want a government that will take care of me, I want a government that will make other men take their hands off me so I can take care of myself.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
America was born a Christian nation.
