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

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose.
Woodrow Wilson
My dream of politics all my life has been that it is the common business, that it is something we owe to each other to understand and discuss with absolute frankness.
Woodrow Wilson
I am all kinds of a democrat, so far as I can discover but the root of the whole business is this, that I believe in the patriotism and energy and initiative of the average man.
Woodrow Wilson
America was born a Christian nation.
Woodrow Wilson
I am not one of those who believe that a great standing army is the means of maintaining peace, because if you build up a great profession those who form parts of it want to exercise their profession.
Woodrow Wilson
We grow by our dreams.
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
The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
Woodrow Wilson
But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts
Woodrow Wilson
I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool, the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking.
Woodrow Wilson
If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation if an hour, I am ready now.
Woodrow Wilson
It is the object of learning, not only to satisfy the curiosity and perfect the spirits of ordinary men, but also to advance civilization.
Woodrow Wilson
To think that I, the son ofthe manse, should be able to help restore the Holy Land to its people.
Woodrow Wilson
No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property.
Woodrow Wilson
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
Politics is a war of causes a joust of principles. Government is too serious a matter to admit of meaningless courtesies.
Woodrow Wilson
I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something.
Woodrow Wilson
We never found a real model (for our vision).
Woodrow Wilson
When men take up arms to set other men free, there is something sacred and holy in the warfare.
Woodrow Wilson
It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilizationitself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things we have always carried closest to our hearts.
Woodrow Wilson
