More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Things get very lonely in Washington sometimes. The real voice of the great people of America sometimes sounds faint and distant in that strange city. You hear politics until you wish that both parties were smothered in their own gas.
Woodrow Wilson
It has become a people's war, and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and variety of fortune, are involved inits sweeping processes of change and settlement.
Woodrow Wilson
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of the government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
Woodrow Wilson
Men grow by having responsibility laid upon them.
Woodrow Wilson
Understanding is the soil in which grow all the fruits of friendship.
Woodrow Wilson
We must believe the things We teach our children
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
Some Americans need hyphens in their names, because only part of them has come over but when the whole man has come over, heart and thought and all, the hyphen drops of its own weight out of his name.
Woodrow Wilson
This book [the Bible] speaks both the voice of God and the voice of humanity, for there is told in it the most convincing of human experience that has ever been written...and those who heed that story will know their strength and happiness and success are all summed up in the exhortation, Fear God and keep His commandments.
Woodrow Wilson
I had rather have everybody on my side than be armed to the teeth.
Woodrow Wilson
The trouble with the theory [of limited and divided government] is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. This is where the living and breathing constitution comes from. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life.
Woodrow Wilson
My hope is ... that we may recover ... something of a renewal of that vision of the law with which men may be supposed to have started out with in the old days of the oracles, who communed with the intimations of divinity.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
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
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Woodrow Wilson
The growth of our nation and all its activities are in the hands of a few men.
Woodrow Wilson
I have received delegations of working men who, apparently speaking with the utmost sincerity, have declared that they would regard it as a genuine hardship if they were deprived of their beer, for example.
Woodrow Wilson
I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
Woodrow Wilson
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.
Woodrow Wilson
Jefferson's Declaration of Independence is a practical document for the use of practical men. It is not a thesis for philosophers, but a whip for tyrants it is not a theory of government but a program of action.
