More quotes by 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
Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.
Woodrow Wilson
The soul of me is very selfish. I have gone my way after a fashion that made me the center of the plan. And you who are so individual, who are so independent a spirit, whose soul is also a kingdom, have been so loyal, so forgiving, so self-sacrificing in your willingness to live my life. Nothing but love cold have accomplished so wonderful a thing.
Woodrow Wilson
Our civilization cannot survive materially unless it is redeemed spiritually. It can be saved only by becoming permeated with the Spirit of Christ, and being made free and happy by practices which spring out of that spirit. Only thus can discontent be driven out and all shadows lifted from the road ahead.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is not a warfare of interests.

Woodrow Wilson

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

Woodrow Wilson
Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power, and to set up among the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles.
Woodrow Wilson
Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.
Woodrow Wilson
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Woodrow Wilson
Unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.
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
All things come to him who waits
Woodrow Wilson
When the representatives of Big Business think of the people, they do not include themselves.
Woodrow Wilson
The difference between a strong man and a weak one is that the former does not give up after a defeat.
Woodrow Wilson
