The presidential office is not a rosewater affair. This is an office in which a man must put on his war paint.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The greatest embarrassment of my political career has been that active duties seem to deprive me of time for careful investigation. I seem almost obliged to form conclusions from impressions instead of from study.... I wish that I had more knowledge, more thorough acquaintance, with the matters involved.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No nation is fit to sit in judgement upon any other nation.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We are expected to put the utmost energy, of every power that we have, into the service of our fellow men, never sparing ourselves, not condescending to think of what is going to happen to ourselves, but ready, if need be, to go to the utter length of self-sacrifice.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Princeton is no longer a thing for Princeton men to please themselves with. Princeton is a thing with which Princeton men must satisfy the country.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Conformity will be the only virtue and any man who refuses to conform will have to pay the penalty.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
When I think of the flag.... I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of liberty and justice, and stripes of blood to vindicate those rights, and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
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
Music says nothing to the reason: it is a kind of closely structured nonsense.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The way to be patriotic in America is not only to love America, but to love the duty that lies nearest to our hand, and to know that in performing it we are serving our country.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
To be free is not necessarily to be wise. Wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
What every man seeks is satisfaction. He deceives himself so long as he imagines it to lie in self-indulgence.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The great monopoly in this country is the money monopoly. So long as it exists, our old variety of freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.

No student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
