More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Americanism consists in utterly believing in the principles of America.
Woodrow Wilson
I had rather be defeated in a cause that will ultimately triumph than triumph in a cause that will ultimately be defeated.
Woodrow Wilson
The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.
Woodrow Wilson
No people are true Christians who do not think constantly of how they can lift their brother and sister, how they can assist their friends, how they can enlighten mankind, how they can make virtue the rule of conduct in the circle in which they live.
Woodrow Wilson
I am so glad that I am young, so that I may give my youth to you.
Woodrow Wilson
My best training came from my father.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
Woodrow Wilson
I am sorry for men who do not read the Bible every day. I wonder why they deprive themselves of the strength and pleasure.
Woodrow Wilson
The only use of an obstacle is to be overcome. All that an obstacle does with brave men is, not to frighten them, but to challenge them.
Woodrow Wilson
Only peace between equals can last.
Woodrow Wilson
A conservative is someone who makes no changes and consults his grandmother when in doubt.
Woodrow Wilson
The right is more precious than peace.
Woodrow Wilson
Neutrality is a negative word. It is a word that does not express what America ought to feel. America has a heart, and that heart throbs with all sorts of intense sympathies... We are not trying to keep out of trouble we are trying to preserve the foundations upon which peace can be rebuilt.
Woodrow Wilson
We are provincials no longer. The tragic events of the 30 months of vital turmoil through which we have just passed have made us citizens of the world. There can be no turning back.
Woodrow Wilson
There is no indispensable man. The government will not collapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be entrusted with its guidance should be left at home.
Woodrow Wilson
The men who act stand nearer to the mass of man than the men who write and it is in their hands that new thought gets its translation into the crude language of deeds.
Woodrow Wilson
No man has ever risen to the stature of spiritual manhood until he has found that it is finer to serve somebody else than it is to serve himself.
Woodrow Wilson
A conservative is a man who just sits and thinks, mostly sits.
Woodrow Wilson
[We are] no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.
