More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
I'm a vague, conjunctured personality, more made up of opinions and academic prepossessions than of human traits and red corpuscles.
Woodrow Wilson
It is not an army that we must train for war it is a nation.
Woodrow Wilson
A presidential campaign may easily degenerate into a mere personal contest, and so lose its real dignity. There is no indispensable man.
Woodrow Wilson
If you think too much about being re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.
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
...men are not put into this world to go the path of ease, they are put into this world to go the path of pain and struggle.
Woodrow Wilson
A man is not as big as his belief in himself he is as big as the number of persons who believe in him.
Woodrow Wilson
And while you bring all countries with you, you come with a purpose of leaving all other countries behind you - bringing what is best of their spirit, but not looking over your shoulders and seeking to perpetuate what you intended to leave behind in them.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Great statesmen seem to direct and rule by a sort of power to put themselves in the place of the nation over which they are set, and may thus be said to possess the souls of poets at the same time they display the coarser sense and the more vulgar sagacity of practical men of business.
Woodrow Wilson
The commands of democracy are as imperative as its privileges and opportunities are wide and generous. Its compulsion is upon us.
Woodrow Wilson
The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples' characters: he cares much--everything--for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power others simply the materials on which that power operates.
Woodrow Wilson
No man ever saw a government. I live in the midst of the Government of the United States, but I never saw the Government of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
The natural man inevitably rebels against mathematics, a mild form of torture that could only be learned by painful processes of drill.
Woodrow Wilson
As a matter of fact and experience, the more power is divided the more irresponsible it becomes.
Woodrow Wilson
Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide.
Woodrow Wilson
Such a mind we must desire to see in a woman,--a mind that stirs without irritating you, that arouses but does not belabour, amuses and yet subtly instructs.
Woodrow Wilson
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Woodrow Wilson
