More quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Image
The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We can afford to exercise the self-restraint of a really great nation which realizes its own strength and scorns to misuse it.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Has justice ever grown in the soil of absolute power? Has not justice always come from the ... heart and spirit of men who resist power?
Woodrow Wilson
Image
This little world, this little state, this little commonwealth of our own.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The beauty of a democracy is that you never can tell when a youngster is born what he is going to do with himself, and that no matter how humbly he is born, no matter where he is born, no matter what circumstances hamper him at the outset, he has got a chance to master the minds and lead the imaginations of the whole country.
Woodrow Wilson

Self-determination is not a mere phrase. It is an imperative principle of action, which statesmen will henceforth ignore at their peril.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Thought cannot conceive of anything that may not be brought to expression. He who first uttered it may be only the suggester, but the doer will appear.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
It is imperative that we should not only master them, but also act upon them, and act very definitely.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
What is at the heart of all national problems? It is that we have seen the hand of material interest sometimes about to close upon our dearest rights and possessions.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand--that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If you've made up your mind you can do something, you're absolutely RIGHT.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
A nation is as great, and only as great, as her rank and file.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The right is more precious than peace.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
A sure sign of an amateur is too much detail to compensate for too little life.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
When the representatives of Big Business think of the people, they do not include themselves.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
May it not suffice for me to say ... that of course like every other man of intelligence and education I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
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.

The natural man inevitably rebels against mathematics, a mild form of torture that could only be learned by painful processes of drill.
