There is no indispensable man.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Has justice ever grown in the soil of absolute power? Has not justice always come from the ... heart and spirit of men who resist power?
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We grow by our dreams.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I want the people to love me, but I suppose they never will.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little. . . . We must strive for normalcy to reach stability.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Politics is a war of causes a joust of principles.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Responsibility is proportionate to opportunity.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
I have no happy fairyland vision that she can win.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We can afford to exercise the self-restraint of a really great nation which realizes its own strength and scorns to misuse it.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If you think too much about being re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I am a most unhappy man. I accidentally ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. Our government is no longer based on the freedom of opinion, nor on the conviction and the majority decision, it is now a government which is subjected to the conviction and the compulsion of a small group of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We want the spirit of America to be efficient we want American character to be efficient we want American character to display itself in what I may, perhaps, be allowed to call spiritual efficiency - clear disinterested thinking and fearless action
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Character, my friends, is a byproduct. It is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
