More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
There is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson
No man that does not see visions will ever realize any high hope or undertake any high enterprise.
Woodrow Wilson
No government has ever been beneficent when the attitude of government was that it was taking care of the people. The only freedom consists in the people taking care of the government.
Woodrow Wilson
A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world who has deprived himself of this.
Woodrow Wilson
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
I lived a dream life (almost too exclusively, perhaps) when I was a lad and even now my thought goes back for refreshment to thosedays when all the world seemed to be a place of heroic adventure in which one's heart must keep its own counsel.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.
Woodrow Wilson
I have sometimes heard men say politics must have nothing to do with business, and I have often wished that business had nothing to do with politics.
Woodrow Wilson
The growth of our nation and all its activities are in the hands of a few men.
Woodrow Wilson
The ordinary literary man, even though he be an eminent historian, is ill-fitted to be a mentor in affairs of government. For... things are for the most part very simple in books, and in practical life very complex.
Woodrow Wilson
And when they [American soldiers] came, they found fit comrades for their courage and their devotion. ... Joining hands with these, the men of America gave that greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.
Woodrow Wilson
All the extraordinary men I have ever known were chiefly extraordinary in their own estimation.
Woodrow Wilson
The use of a university is to make young gentlemen as unlike their fathers as possible.
