More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Woodrow Wilson
We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite.
Woodrow Wilson
I do not want to live under a philanthropy. I do not want to be taken care of by the government.... We do not want a benevolent government. We want a free and a just government.
Woodrow Wilson
Energy in a nation is like sap in a tree it rises from bottom up.
Woodrow Wilson
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
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
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world.
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
I am the friend of peace and mean to preserve it for America so long as I am able. . . . No course of my choosing or of their (nations at war) will lead to war. War can come only by the wilful acts and aggressions of others.
Woodrow Wilson
All the extraordinary men I have ever known were chiefly extraordinary in their own estimation.
Woodrow Wilson
I am so glad that I am young, so that I may give my youth to you.
Woodrow Wilson
Understanding is the soil in which grow all the fruits of friendship.
Woodrow Wilson
Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.
Woodrow Wilson
Let me... remind you that it is only by working with an energy which is almost superhuman and which looks to uninterested spectators like insanity that we can accomplish anything worth the achievement. Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.
Woodrow Wilson
I believe in Democracy because it releases the energies of every human being.
Woodrow Wilson
To conquer with arms is to make only a temporary conquest to conquer the world by earning its esteem is to make a permanent conquest.
Woodrow Wilson
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
Woodrow Wilson
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
A nation is as great, and only as great, as her rank and file.
Woodrow Wilson
Provision for others is a fundamental responsibility of human life.
Woodrow Wilson
