Woodrow Wilson
Image
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.

A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American. And the man who goes among you to trade upon your nationality is no worthy son to live under the Stars and Stripes.
Woodrow Wilson

Every man who takes office in Washington either grows or swells, and when I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing. The mischief of it is that when they swell, they do not swell enough to burst.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The presidential office is not a rosewater affair. This is an office in which a man must put on his war paint.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
America is not anything if it consists of each of us. It is something only if it consists of all of us...
Woodrow Wilson
Image
War is only a sort of dramatic representation, a sort of dramatic symbol of a thousand forms of duty. I fancy that it is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shooting at you.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of a free people.
Woodrow Wilson
