Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
It is easier to move a cemetery than to change a curriculum.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
The firm basis of government is justice, not pity.
Woodrow Wilson
The object of love is to serve, not to win
Woodrow Wilson
We ought to regard ourselves and to act as socialists--believers in the wholesomeness and beneficence of the body politic.
Woodrow Wilson
No government has ever been beneficent when the attitude of government was that it was taking care of the people. The only freedom consists in the people taking care of the government.
Woodrow Wilson
My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.
Woodrow Wilson
