The man who reads everything is like the man who eats everything: he can digest nothing, and the penalty of crowding one's mind with other men's thoughts is to have no thoughts of one's own.

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Only peace between equals can last.
Woodrow Wilson
If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
Woodrow Wilson
No man can be just who is not free.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
Woodrow Wilson
Congress in session is Congress on public exhibition, whilst Congress in its committee-rooms is Congress at work.
Woodrow Wilson
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is not a warfare of interests.
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
A right is worth fighting for only when it can be put into operation.
Woodrow Wilson
Neutrality is a negative word. It is a word that does not express what America ought to feel. America has a heart, and that heart throbs with all sorts of intense sympathies... We are not trying to keep out of trouble we are trying to preserve the foundations upon which peace can be rebuilt.
Woodrow Wilson
We must believe the things We teach our children
Woodrow Wilson
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
No man can sit down and withhold his hands from the warfare against wrong and get peace from his acquiescence.
Woodrow Wilson
This is history written in lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
Conservatism is the policy of make no change and consult your grandmother when in doubt.
Woodrow Wilson
Absolute identity with one's cause is the first and great condition of successful leadership.
Woodrow Wilson
Every great man of business has got somewhere a touch of the idealist in him.
Woodrow Wilson
They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination they pursue persons and objects that never existed they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,--and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.
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
Progressiveness means not standing still when everything else is moving.
Woodrow Wilson
