Woodrow Wilson
Conservatism is the policy of make no change and consult your grandmother when in doubt.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
His [the President's] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.
Woodrow Wilson
Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.
Woodrow Wilson
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
The natural man inevitably rebels against mathematics, a mild form of torture that could only be learned by painful processes of drill.
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
Politics is a war of causes a joust of principles.
Woodrow Wilson
We are participants, whether we would or not, in the life of the world.... We are partners with the rest. What affects mankind isinevitably our affair as well as the nations of Europe and Asia.
Woodrow Wilson
Bagehot did what so many thousand of young graduates before him had done,--he studied for the bar and then, having prepared himself to practise law, followed another large body of young men in deciding to abandon it.
Woodrow Wilson
I have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart ever since I was a boy.... So I feel tonight like the man who is lodging happily in the inn which lies half way along the journey and that in time, with a fresh impulse, we shall go the rest of the journey and sleep at the journey's end like men with a quiet conscience.
Woodrow Wilson
I am one who fights without a knack of hoping confidentlysimply a Scotch-Irishman who will not be conquered.
Woodrow Wilson
