More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
A fault which humbles a person is of more use to him or her than a good action which puffs him or her up.
Woodrow Wilson
The facts of the case will always have the better of [an] argument.
Woodrow Wilson
I have always in my own thought summed up individual liberty, and business liberty, and every other kind of liberty, in the phrase that is common in the sporting world, 'A free field and no favor.'
Woodrow Wilson
Absolute identity with one's cause is the first and great condition of successful leadership.
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
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
We are expected to put the utmost energy, of every power that we have, into the service of our fellow men, never sparing ourselves, not condescending to think of what is going to happen to ourselves, but ready, if need be, to go to the utter length of self-sacrifice.
Woodrow Wilson
We must believe the things We teach our children
Woodrow Wilson
You have just taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Of allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to no one, unless it be God. Certainly not of allegiance to those who temporarily represent this great government. You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of the human race.
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
The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him-not even to consent to it but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
Woodrow Wilson
Progressiveness means not standing still when everything else is moving.
Woodrow Wilson
We [Americans] have a great ardor for gain but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
Woodrow Wilson
Whate'er my doom It cannot be unhappy: God hath given me The boon of resignation.
Woodrow Wilson
Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at.
Woodrow Wilson
It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
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
Man is much more than a 'rational being' and lives more by sympathies and impressions than by conclusions. It darkens his eyes and dries up the wells of his humanity to be forever in search of doctrine. We need wholesome, experiencing natures, I dare affirm, much more than we need sound reasoning.
Woodrow Wilson
Princeton is no longer a thing for Princeton men to please themselves with. Princeton is a thing with which Princeton men must satisfy the country.
Woodrow Wilson
