More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Whatever may be said against the chewing of tobacco, this at least can be said of it, that it gives a man time to think between sentences.
Woodrow Wilson
The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation—until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country.
Woodrow Wilson
My best training came from my father.
Woodrow Wilson
We shall not, I believe, be obliged to alter our policy of watchful waiting.
Woodrow Wilson
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Woodrow Wilson
One of the proofs of the divinity of our gospel is the preaching it has survived.
Woodrow Wilson
The beauty of a democracy is that you never can tell when a youngster is born what he is going to do with himself, and that no matter how humbly he is born, no matter where he is born, no matter what circumstances hamper him at the outset, he has got a chance to master the minds and lead the imaginations of the whole country.
Woodrow Wilson
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of the government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
Woodrow Wilson
A nation is as great, and only as great, as her rank and file.
Woodrow Wilson
It is a protest against the way the world has worked. (explanation of Bolshevism)
Woodrow Wilson
We grow through our dreams. All great men and women are dreamers. Some, however, allow their dreams to die. You should nurse your dreams and protect them through bad times and tough times to the sunshine and light which always come.
Woodrow Wilson
Energy in a nation is like sap in a tree it rises from bottom up.
Woodrow Wilson
Death comes along like a gas bill one can't payand that's all one can sayabout it.
Woodrow Wilson
There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.
Woodrow Wilson
Self-determination is not a mere phrase. It is an imperative principle of action, which statesmen will henceforth ignore at their peril.
Woodrow Wilson
I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose.
Woodrow Wilson
Every great man of business has got somewhere a touch of the idealist in him.
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
The method of political science is the interpretation of life its instrument is insight, a nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions.
Woodrow Wilson
Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at.
