More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The soul of me is very selfish. I have gone my way after a fashion that made me the center of the plan. And you who are so individual, who are so independent a spirit, whose soul is also a kingdom, have been so loyal, so forgiving, so self-sacrificing in your willingness to live my life. Nothing but love cold have accomplished so wonderful a thing.
Woodrow Wilson
It is not an army that we must train for war it is a nation.
Woodrow Wilson
You must act in your friends' interests whether it pleases them or not the object of love is to serve, not to win.
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
Today's greatest labor-saving device is tomorrow.
Woodrow Wilson
We never found a real model (for our vision).
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
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
Woodrow Wilson
The legislator must be in advance of his age. Across the mind of the statesman flash ever and anon the brilliant, though partial, intimations of future events.... Something which is more than fore-sight and less than prophetic knowledge marks the statesman a peculiar being among his contemporaries.
Woodrow Wilson
What every man seeks is satisfaction. He deceives himself so long as he imagines it to lie in self-indulgence.
Woodrow Wilson
The presidential office is not a rosewater affair. This is an office in which a man must put on his war paint.
Woodrow Wilson
The growth of our nation and all its activities are in the hands of a few men.
Woodrow Wilson
Congress in session is Congress on public exhibition, whilst Congress in its committee-rooms is Congress at work.
Woodrow Wilson
The object of love is to serve, not to win
Woodrow Wilson
The wisest thing to do with a fool is to encourage him to hire a hall and discourse to his fellow-citizens . Nothing chills nonsense like exposure to the air.
Woodrow Wilson
The Americans who went to Europe to die are a unique breed.... (They) crossed the seas to a foreign land to fight for a cause which they did not pretend was peculiarly their own, which they knew was the cause of humanity and mankind. These Americans gave the greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.
Woodrow Wilson
It is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shouting at you.
Woodrow Wilson
If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation if an hour, I am ready now.
Woodrow Wilson
Interest does not tie nations together it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.
