More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
I am so glad that I am young, so that I may give my youth to you.
Woodrow Wilson
Wilson was once asked how long it took him to write a speech. He answered, 'That depends. If I am to speak 10 minutes, I need a week for preparation. If 15 minutes, 3 days. If half hour, two days. If an hour, I am ready now.'
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
One of the proofs of the divinity of our gospel is the preaching it has survived.
Woodrow Wilson

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
The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.
Woodrow Wilson
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.
Woodrow Wilson
My best training came from my father.
Woodrow Wilson
War isn’t declared in the name of God it is a human affair entirely.
Woodrow Wilson
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Woodrow Wilson
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.
