Woodrow Wilson
Image
Unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The nation's honor is dearer than the nation's comfort.
Woodrow Wilson

I confess my belief in the common man.... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I believe that soldiers will bear me out in saying that both come in time of battle. I take it that the moral courage comes in going into the battle, and the physical courage in staying in.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The Americans who went to Europe to die are a unique breed.... (They) crossed the seas to a foreign land to fight for a cause which they did not pretend was peculiarly their own, which they knew was the cause of humanity and mankind. These Americans gave the greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.

Freedom exists only where the people take care of the government.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If you would be a leader of men you must lead your own generation, not the next. Your playing must be good now, while the play ison the boards and the audience in the seats.... It will not get you the repute of a good actor to have excellencies discovered in you afterwards.
Woodrow Wilson

Liberty is its own reward.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Understanding is the soil in which grow all the fruits of friendship.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I want the people to love me, but I suppose they never will.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We didn't have another choice but to do what we did, if we wanted to be accepted, because we weren't counted as human beings.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.
