More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
I have rather a strange objection to talking from the back platform of a train.... It changes too often. It moves around and shifts its ground too often. I like a platform that stays put.
Woodrow Wilson
America is not a mere body of traders it is a body of free men. Our greatness is built upon our freedom - is moral, not material. We have a great ardor for gain but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
Woodrow Wilson
One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.
Woodrow Wilson
A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.
Woodrow Wilson
We didn't have another choice but to do what we did, if we wanted to be accepted, because we weren't counted as human beings.
Woodrow Wilson
No nation is fit to sit in judgement upon any other nation.
Woodrow Wilson
I have sometimes heard men say politics must have nothing to do with business, and I have often wished that business had nothing to do with politics.
Woodrow Wilson
Your real statesman is first of all, and chief of all, a great human being, with an eye for all the great fields on which men likehimself struggle, with unflagging, pathetic hope, toward better things.... He is a guide, a counselor, a mentor, a servant, a friend of mankind.
Woodrow Wilson
Our civilization cannot survive materially unless it is redeemed spiritually. It can be saved only by becoming permeated with the Spirit of Christ, and being made free and happy by practices which spring out of that spirit. Only thus can discontent be driven out and all shadows lifted from the road ahead.
Woodrow Wilson
I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.
Woodrow Wilson
Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise.
Woodrow Wilson
No man can sit down and withhold his hands from the warfare against wrong and get peace from his acquiescence.
Woodrow Wilson
It does not become America that within her borders, where every man is free to follow the dictates of his conscience, men should raise the cry of church against church. To do that is to strike at the very spirit and heart of America.
Woodrow Wilson
The roll of honor consists of the names of meant who have squared their conduct by ideals of duty.
Woodrow Wilson
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make.
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
Tolerance is an admirable intellectual gift but it is of little worth in politics.
Woodrow Wilson
We have not given science too big a place in our education, but we have made a perilous mistake in giving it too great a preponderance in method in every other branch of study.
Woodrow Wilson
It is not men that interest or disturb me primarily it is ideas. Ideas live men die.
Woodrow Wilson
It must be a peace without victory
