More quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Image
The interesting and inspiring thing about America is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for humanity itself.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There are blessed intervals when I forget by one means or another that I am President of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Remember that God ordained that I should be the next president of the United States. Neither you nor any other mortal or mortals could have prevented this.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
It must be a peace without victory
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Death comes along like a gas bill one can't payand that's all one can sayabout it.
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
This is history written in lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The history of liberty is the history of limitations on the power of government, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human liberties.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Never murder a man when he's busy committing suicide.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
America is the place where you cannot kill your government by killing the men who conduct it.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
The Government of the United States would be constrained to hold the Imperial German government to a strict accountability for such acts of their naval authorities.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
High society is for those who have stopped working and no longer have anything important to do.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.
