More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
You cannot, in human experience, rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight into the broadening day before the noon comes and the full sun is upon the landscape.
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
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Woodrow Wilson
I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
Woodrow Wilson
The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.
Woodrow Wilson
Provision for others is a fundamental responsibility of human life.

Where the great force lies, there must be the sanction of peace.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who disparages music as a luxury and non-essential is doing the nation an injury. Music now, more than ever before, is a national need.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
Woodrow Wilson
Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose.
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
America is not anything if it consists of each of us. It is something only if it consists of all of us...
Woodrow Wilson
Death comes along like a gas bill one can't payand that's all one can sayabout it.
Woodrow Wilson
The Civil War created in this country what had never existed before - a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union it was the rebirth of the Union.
Woodrow Wilson
The soul of me is very selfish. I have gone my way after a fashion that made me the center of the plan. And you who are so individual, who are so independent a spirit, whose soul is also a kingdom, have been so loyal, so forgiving, so self-sacrificing in your willingness to live my life. Nothing but love cold have accomplished so wonderful a thing.
Woodrow Wilson
