More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
This was not after all a conventional war, a struggle between equally predacious powers it was a war to end all wars.
Woodrow Wilson
Music says nothing to the reason: it is a kind of closely structured nonsense.
Woodrow Wilson
The only thing that saves the world is the little handful of disinterested men that are in it.
Woodrow Wilson
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
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
Liberty does not consist in mere declarations of the rights of man. It consists in the translation of those declarations into definite action.
Woodrow Wilson
There is here a great melting pot in which we must compound a precious metal. That metal is the metal of nationality.
Woodrow Wilson
A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
Woodrow Wilson
It is easier to move a cemetery than to change a curriculum.
Woodrow Wilson
We are provincials no longer. The tragic events of the 30 months of vital turmoil through which we have just passed have made us citizens of the world. There can be no turning back.
Woodrow Wilson
The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose. No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic party. It seeks to use it to interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
Woodrow Wilson
The seed of revolution is repression.
Woodrow Wilson
The masters of the government of the United States are the combined capitalists and manufacturers of the United States.
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
I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
Woodrow Wilson
What every man seeks is satisfaction. He deceives himself so long as he imagines it to lie in self-indulgence.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
Woodrow Wilson
Every great man of business has got somewhere a touch of the idealist in him.
Woodrow Wilson
People will endure their tyrants for years, but they tear their deliverers to pieces if a millennium is not created immediately.
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
