More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
No one who has read official documents needs to be told how easy it is to conceal the essential truth under the apparently candid and all- disclosing phrases of a voluminous and particularizing report.
Woodrow Wilson
Your real statesman is first of all, and chief of all, a great human being, with an eye for all the great fields on which men likehimself struggle, with unflagging, pathetic hope, toward better things.... He is a guide, a counselor, a mentor, a servant, a friend of mankind.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights.

Woodrow Wilson
The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of a great people. Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.
Woodrow Wilson
His [the President's] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.
Woodrow Wilson
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Woodrow Wilson
America was born a Christian nation.
Woodrow Wilson
A man's rootage is more important than his leafage.
Woodrow Wilson
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
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
We ought to regard ourselves and to act as socialists--believers in the wholesomeness and beneficence of the body politic.
Woodrow Wilson
