More quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Men grow by having responsibility laid upon them.

Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
The only thing that saves the world is the little handful of disinterested men that are in it.
Woodrow Wilson
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
America is not a mere body of traders it is a body of free men. Our greatness is built upon our freedom - is moral, not material. We have a great ardor for gain but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
Woodrow Wilson
It is not an army that we must train for war it is a nation.
Woodrow Wilson
Energy in a nation is like sap in a tree it rises from bottom up.
Woodrow Wilson
Let it be your pride to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are.
Woodrow Wilson
When the representatives of Big Business think of the people, they do not include themselves.
Woodrow Wilson
What is the use of voting? We know that the machines of both parties are subsidized by the same persons, and therefore it is useless to turn in either direction.
Woodrow Wilson
