More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation—until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country.
Woodrow Wilson
There's not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else's brains.
Woodrow Wilson
A living thing is born.
Woodrow Wilson
The ordinary literary man, even though he be an eminent historian, is ill-fitted to be a mentor in affairs of government. For... things are for the most part very simple in books, and in practical life very complex.
Woodrow Wilson
High society is for those who have stopped working and no longer have anything important to do.
Woodrow Wilson
Your real statesman is first of all, and chief of all, a great human being, with an eye for all the great fields on which men likehimself struggle, with unflagging, pathetic hope, toward better things.... He is a guide, a counselor, a mentor, a servant, a friend of mankind.
Woodrow Wilson
The whole purpose of democracy is that we may hold counsel with one another, so as not to depend upon the understanding of one man.
Woodrow Wilson
So far as the colleges go, the side-shows have swallowed up the circus, and we don't know what is going on in the main tent: and I don't want to continue as ringmaster under those conditions.
Woodrow Wilson
It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
Woodrow Wilson
The question of armaments, whether on land or sea, is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and of mankind.
Woodrow Wilson
We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world.
Woodrow Wilson
A nation is as great, and only as great, as her rank and file.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse.
Woodrow Wilson
A conservative is a man who just sits and thinks, mostly sits.
Woodrow Wilson
Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.
Woodrow Wilson
Unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.
Woodrow Wilson
The legislator must be in advance of his age. Across the mind of the statesman flash ever and anon the brilliant, though partial, intimations of future events.... Something which is more than fore-sight and less than prophetic knowledge marks the statesman a peculiar being among his contemporaries.
Woodrow Wilson
A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.
Woodrow Wilson
Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.
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
