Woodrow Wilson
We have not given science too big a place in our education, but we have made a perilous mistake in giving it too great a preponderance in method in every other branch of study.
Woodrow Wilson
Such a mind we must desire to see in a woman,--a mind that stirs without irritating you, that arouses but does not belabour, amuses and yet subtly instructs.
Woodrow Wilson
No student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
To do things today exactly the way you did them yesterday saves thinking.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
I firmly believe in Divine Providence. Without belief in Providence I think I should go crazy. Without God the world would be a maze without a clue.
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
The seed of revolution is repression.
Woodrow Wilson
The firm basis of government is justice, not pity.
Woodrow Wilson
Settlements may be temporary, but the action of the nations in the interest of peace and justice must be permanent. We can set up permanent processes. We may not be able to set up permanent decisions.
Woodrow Wilson
You cannot tear up ancient rootages and safely plant the tree of liberty in soil that is not native to it.
Woodrow Wilson
Benevolence does not consist in those who are prosperous pitying and helping those who are not. It consists in fellow feeling that puts you upon actually the same level with the fellow who suffers.
Woodrow Wilson
I have come slowly into possession of such powers as I have. I receive the opinions of my day. I do not conceive them. But I receive them into a vivid mind.
Woodrow Wilson
...We are intensely proud of their noble record and are glad to have had the whole world see how irresistible they are in their might when a cause which America holds dear is at stake. The whole nation has reason to be proud of them.
Woodrow Wilson
...men are not put into this world to go the path of ease, they are put into this world to go the path of pain and struggle.
Woodrow Wilson
