Scholarship cannot do without literature.... It needs literature to float it, to set it current, to authenticate it to all the race, to get it out of closets and into the brains of men who stir abroad.

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
If you think too much about being re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.
Woodrow Wilson
We [Americans] have a great ardor for gain but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
Woodrow Wilson
America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
The way to stop financial joyriding is to arrest the chauffeur, not the automobile.
Woodrow Wilson
The trouble with the theory [of limited and divided government] is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. This is where the living and breathing constitution comes from. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life.
Woodrow Wilson
Life does not consist in thinking, it consists in acting.
Woodrow Wilson
While we are fighting for freedom, we must see, among other things, that labor is free.
Woodrow Wilson
The way to be patriotic in America is not only to love America, but to love the duty that lies nearest to our hand, and to know that in performing it we are serving our country.
Woodrow Wilson
When the representatives of Big Business think of the people, they do not include themselves.
Woodrow Wilson
It is easier to move a cemetery than to change a curriculum.
Woodrow Wilson
Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.
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
The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
Woodrow Wilson
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
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 only place in the world that nothing has to be explained to me is the South.
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
There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
Woodrow Wilson
I would not speak with disrespect of the Republican Party. I always speak with great respect of the past.
Woodrow Wilson
