More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The great monopoly in this country is the money monopoly. So long as it exists, our old variety of freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question.
Woodrow Wilson
We have beaten the living, but we cannot fight the dead.
Woodrow Wilson
Music says nothing to the reason: it is a kind of closely structured nonsense.
Woodrow Wilson
But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts
Woodrow Wilson
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Woodrow Wilson
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
Woodrow Wilson
Let me... remind you that it is only by working with an energy which is almost superhuman and which looks to uninterested spectators like insanity that we can accomplish anything worth the achievement. Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.
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
We grow by our dreams.
Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
To fight, you must be brutal and ruthless, and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fibre of national life.
Woodrow Wilson
At every crisis in one's life, it is absolute salvation to have some sympathetic friend to whom you can think aloud without restraint or misgiving.
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
To be free is not necessarily to be wise. Wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest.
Woodrow Wilson
I would not speak with disrespect of the Republican Party. I always speak with great respect of the past.
Woodrow Wilson
It is not men that interest or disturb me primarily it is ideas. Ideas live men die.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is not a warfare of interests.
Woodrow Wilson
I want the people to love me, but I suppose they never will.
Woodrow Wilson
Once lead this people into war, and they'll forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance. To fight, you must be brutal and ruthless, and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fiber of our national life, infecting Congress, the courts, the policeman on the beat, the man in the street.
Woodrow Wilson
When men take up arms to set other men free, there is something sacred and holy in the warfare.
Woodrow Wilson
