More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
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
I have sometimes heard men say politics must have nothing to do with business, and I have often wished that business had nothing to do with politics.
Woodrow Wilson
No nation is fit to sit in judgement upon any other nation.
Woodrow Wilson
Statesmen have to bend to the collective will of their peoples or be broken.
Woodrow Wilson
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
Woodrow Wilson
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.
Woodrow Wilson
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
Some people have a large circle of friends while others have only friends that they like.
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
There is no more subtle dissolvent of morals than sentimentality.
Woodrow Wilson
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
America is not anything if it consists of each of us. It is something only if it consists of all of us...
Woodrow Wilson
Man is much more than a 'rational being' and lives more by sympathies and impressions than by conclusions. It darkens his eyes and dries up the wells of his humanity to be forever in search of doctrine. We need wholesome, experiencing naÂtures, I dare affirm, much more than we need sound reasoning.
Woodrow Wilson
What is the use of voting? We know that the machines of both parties are subsidized by the same persons, and therefore it is useless to turn in either direction.
Woodrow Wilson
Sciencehas won for us a great liberty in the physical world, a liberty from superstitious fear and from disease, a freedom touse nature as a familiar servant but it has not freed us from ourselves.
Woodrow Wilson
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
We are expected to put the utmost energy, of every power that we have, into the service of our fellow men, never sparing ourselves, not condescending to think of what is going to happen to ourselves, but ready, if need be, to go to the utter length of self-sacrifice.
Woodrow Wilson
The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation—until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse.
Woodrow Wilson
Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.
Woodrow Wilson
