More quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Provision for others is a fundamental responsibility of human life.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who has no vision will undertake no great enterprise.
Woodrow Wilson

The Constitution was not made to fit us like a straitjacket. In its elasticity lies its chief greatness.
Woodrow Wilson
Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.
Woodrow Wilson
To be free is not necessarily to be wise. Wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest.
Woodrow Wilson
The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples' characters: he cares much--everything--for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power others simply the materials on which that power operates.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
The firm basis of government is justice, not pity.
Woodrow Wilson
Politics is a war of causes a joust of principles. Government is too serious a matter to admit of meaningless courtesies.
Woodrow Wilson
There is no cause half so sacred as the cause of the people. There is no idea so uplifting as the idea of the service of humanity.
Woodrow Wilson
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
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
Character, my friends, is a byproduct. It is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.
Woodrow Wilson
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
