Quote

Here lies, in a horizontal position The outside case of Peter Pendulum, watch-maker. He departed this life wound up In hopes of being taken in hand by his Maker, And of being thoroughly cleaned, repaired and set a-going In the world to come.

More quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Image
To fight, you must be brutal and ruthless, and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fibre of national life.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The trouble with the theory [of limited and divided government] is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. This is where the living and breathing constitution comes from. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Understanding is the soil in which grow all the fruits of friendship.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Let me... remind you that it is only by working with an energy which is almost superhuman and which looks to uninterested spectators like insanity that we can accomplish anything worth the achievement. Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
America was born a Christian nation.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I do not want to live under a philanthropy. I do not want to be taken care of by the government.... We do not want a benevolent government. We want a free and a just government.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
...I do not want a government that will take care of me, I want a government that will make other men take their hands off me so I can take care of myself.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
A right is worth fighting for only when it can be put into operation.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It maynot be intended that I shall be President--but that would not break my heart.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
One cool judgement is worth a thousand hasty councils.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Some Americans need hyphens in their names because only part of them has come over.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Self-determination is not a mere phrase. It is an imperative principle of action, which statesmen will henceforth ignore at their peril.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light...
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Washington has seldom seen so numerous, so industrious or so insidious a lobby. There is every evidence that money without limit is being spent to sustain this lobby.... I know that in this I am speaking for the members of the two houses, who would rejoice as much as I would to be released from this unbearable situation.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
This is history written in lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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.
