More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Reality is what I see, not what you see.
Woodrow Wilson
Character, my friends, is a byproduct. It is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Woodrow Wilson
If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
Woodrow Wilson
No man can sit down and withhold his hands from the warfare against wrong and get peace from his acquiescence.
Woodrow Wilson
They do not need our praise. They do not need that our admiration should sustain them. There is no immortality that is safer than theirs. We come not for their sakes but for our own, in order that we may drink at the same springs of inspiration from which they themselves drank.
Woodrow Wilson
A conservative is someone who makes no changes and consults his grandmother when in doubt.
Woodrow Wilson
Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy.
Woodrow Wilson
Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.
Woodrow Wilson
Any man that resists the present tides that run in the world, will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and barren that it will seem he has been separated from his human kind forever.
Woodrow Wilson
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of the government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
Woodrow Wilson
Jefferson's Declaration of Independence is a practical document for the use of practical men. It is not a thesis for philosophers, but a whip for tyrants it is not a theory of government but a program of action.
Woodrow Wilson
A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world who has deprived himself of this.
Woodrow Wilson
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
We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.
Woodrow Wilson
As compared with the college politician, the real article seems like an amateur.
Woodrow Wilson
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Woodrow Wilson
His [the President's] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.
Woodrow Wilson
We must believe the things We teach our children
Woodrow Wilson
The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him-not even to consent to it but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
Woodrow Wilson
I am one who fights without a knack of hoping confidentlysimply a Scotch-Irishman who will not be conquered.
Woodrow Wilson
