More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
I have the feeling that he would rather see a good cause fail than succeed if he were not the head of it.
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
When I think of the flag.... I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of liberty and justice, and stripes of blood to vindicate those rights, and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things.
Woodrow Wilson
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Woodrow Wilson
The only place in the world that nothing has to be explained to me is the South.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Some people have a large circle of friends while others have only friends that they like.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Character, my friends, is a byproduct. It is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Woodrow Wilson
America was born a Christian nation.
Woodrow Wilson
I am the friend of peace and mean to preserve it for America so long as I am able. . . . No course of my choosing or of their (nations at war) will lead to war. War can come only by the wilful acts and aggressions of others.
Woodrow Wilson
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
[We are] no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
When men take up arms to set other men free, there is something sacred and holy in the warfare.
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
