More quotes by 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
I am a most unhappy man. I accidentally ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. Our government is no longer based on the freedom of opinion, nor on the conviction and the majority decision, it is now a government which is subjected to the conviction and the compulsion of a small group of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
My dream of politics all my life has been that it is the common business, that it is something we owe to each other to understand and discuss with absolute frankness.
Woodrow Wilson
Congress in session is Congress on public exhibition, whilst Congress in its committee-rooms is Congress at work.
Woodrow Wilson
I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
Woodrow Wilson

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
It's harder for a leader to be born in a palace than to be born in a cabin.
Woodrow Wilson
It has become a people's war, and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and variety of fortune, are involved inits sweeping processes of change and settlement.
Woodrow Wilson
My hope is ... that we may recover ... something of a renewal of that vision of the law with which men may be supposed to have started out with in the old days of the oracles, who communed with the intimations of divinity.
Woodrow Wilson
Tolerance is an admirable intellectual gift but it is of little worth in politics.
Woodrow Wilson
If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.
Woodrow Wilson
This book [the Bible] speaks both the voice of God and the voice of humanity, for there is told in it the most convincing of human experience that has ever been written...and those who heed that story will know their strength and happiness and success are all summed up in the exhortation, Fear God and keep His commandments.
Woodrow Wilson
The world can be at peace only if the world is stable, and there can be no stability where the will is in rebellion, where there is not tranquility of spirit and a sense of justice, of freedom, and of right.
Woodrow Wilson
The whole purpose of democracy is that we may hold counsel with one another, so as not to depend upon the understanding of one man.
Woodrow Wilson
One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
Woodrow Wilson
Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.
Woodrow Wilson
Character, my friends, is a byproduct. It is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Woodrow Wilson
