More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
I am the friend of peace and mean to preserve it for America so long as I am able. . . . No course of my choosing or of their (nations at war) will lead to war. War can come only by the wilful acts and aggressions of others.
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
The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.
Woodrow Wilson
I have received delegations of working men who, apparently speaking with the utmost sincerity, have declared that they would regard it as a genuine hardship if they were deprived of their beer, for example.
Woodrow Wilson
Progressiveness means not standing still when everything else is moving.
Woodrow Wilson
I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
We didn't have another choice but to do what we did, if we wanted to be accepted, because we weren't counted as human beings.
Woodrow Wilson
I am not willing to be drawn further into the toils. I cannot accede to the acceptance of gifts upon terms which take the educational policy of the university out of the hands of the Trustees and Faculty and permit it to be determined by those who give money.
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
I have rather a strange objection to talking from the back platform of a train.... It changes too often. It moves around and shifts its ground too often. I like a platform that stays put.
Woodrow Wilson
May it not suffice for me to say ... that of course like every other man of intelligence and education I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised.
Woodrow Wilson
The use of a university is to make young gentlemen as unlike their fathers as possible.
Woodrow Wilson
America was born a Christian nation.
Woodrow Wilson
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.
Woodrow Wilson
Opinion is the great, indeed the only coordinating force in our system.
Woodrow Wilson
The seed of revolution is repression.
Woodrow Wilson
The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
Woodrow Wilson
