More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
No government has ever been beneficent when the attitude of government was that it was taking care of the people. The only freedom consists in the people taking care of the government.
Woodrow Wilson
There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.
Woodrow Wilson
That a peasant may become king does not render the kingdom democratic.
Woodrow Wilson
It's harder for a leader to be born in a palace than to be born in a cabin.
Woodrow Wilson
The world must be made safe for democracy.
Woodrow Wilson
One cool judgement is worth a thousand hasty councils.
Woodrow Wilson
Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end, and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own.
Woodrow Wilson
There's not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else's brains.
Woodrow Wilson
Unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.
Woodrow Wilson
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.
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
And when they [American soldiers] came, they found fit comrades for their courage and their devotion. ... Joining hands with these, the men of America gave that greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.
Woodrow Wilson
Here lies, in a horizontal position The outside case of Peter Pendulum, watch-maker. He departed this life wound up In hopes of being taken in hand by his Maker, And of being thoroughly cleaned, repaired and set a-going In the world to come.
Woodrow Wilson
Is there any man here or any woman, let me say is there any child here, who does not know that the seed of war in the modern world is industrial and commercial rivalry?
Woodrow Wilson
Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand--that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
Woodrow Wilson
There was a time when corporations played a minor part in our business affairs, but now they play the chief part, and most men are the servants of corporations.
Woodrow Wilson
Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.
Woodrow Wilson
The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples' characters: he cares much--everything--for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power others simply the materials on which that power operates.
Woodrow Wilson
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
Woodrow Wilson
Such a mind we must desire to see in a woman,--a mind that stirs without irritating you, that arouses but does not belabour, amuses and yet subtly instructs.
Woodrow Wilson
