More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The truth is we are all caught in a great economic system which is heartless.
Woodrow Wilson
It recognizes no morality but a sham morality meant for deceit, no honor even among thieves and of a thievish sort, no force but physical force, no intellectual power but cunning, no disgrace but failure, no crime but stupidity.
Woodrow Wilson
Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse.
Woodrow Wilson
I have come slowly into possession of such powers as I have. I receive the opinions of my day. I do not conceive them. But I receive them into a vivid mind.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
Woodrow Wilson
I am a most unhappy man. I accidentally ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. Our government is no longer based on the freedom of opinion, nor on the conviction and the majority decision, it is now a government which is subjected to the conviction and the compulsion of a small group of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
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
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
The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.
Woodrow Wilson
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
...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
America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture.
Woodrow Wilson
I have the feeling that he would rather see a good cause fail than succeed if he were not the head of it.
Woodrow Wilson
Here lies, in a horizontal position The outside case of Peter Pendulum, watch-maker. He departed this life wound up In hopes of being taken in hand by his Maker, And of being thoroughly cleaned, repaired and set a-going In the world to come.
Woodrow Wilson
Congress in session is Congress on public exhibition, whilst Congress in its committee-rooms is Congress at work.
Woodrow Wilson
The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of a great people. Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.
Woodrow Wilson
One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
Woodrow Wilson
America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
I have no happy fairyland vision that she can win.
Woodrow Wilson
