More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Whatever may be said against the chewing of tobacco, this at least can be said of it, that it gives a man time to think between sentences.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
The highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of a free people.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
It would be the irony of fate if my administration had to deal chiefly with foreign affairs.
Woodrow Wilson
The roll of honor consists of the names of meant who have squared their conduct by ideals of duty.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
His [the President's] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.
Woodrow Wilson
The literary gift is a very dangerous gift to possess if you are not telling the truth, and I would a great deal rather, for my part, have a man stumble in his speech than to feel he was so exceedingly smooth that he had better be watched both day and night.
Woodrow Wilson
Music says nothing to the reason: it is a kind of closely structured nonsense.
Woodrow Wilson
Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.
Woodrow Wilson
If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.
Woodrow Wilson
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.
Woodrow Wilson
The allied nations with the fullest concurrence of our government and people are agreed that in Palestine shall be laid the foundations of a Jewish Commonwealth.
Woodrow Wilson
