Woodrow Wilson
Image
We grow by our dreams.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
If you wish your children to be Christians you must really take the trouble to be Christian yourselves. Those are the only terms upon which the home will work the gracious miracle.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Energy in a nation is like sap in a tree it rises from bottom up.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The legislator must be in advance of his age. Across the mind of the statesman flash ever and anon the brilliant, though partial, intimations of future events.... Something which is more than fore-sight and less than prophetic knowledge marks the statesman a peculiar being among his contemporaries.
Woodrow Wilson

The welfare, the happiness, the energy and spirit of the men and women who do the daily workis the underlying necessity of all prosperity.... There can be nothing wholesome unless their life is wholesome there can be no contentment unless they are contented.
Woodrow Wilson

Great statesmen seem to direct and rule by a sort of power to put themselves in the place of the nation over which they are set, and may thus be said to possess the souls of poets at the same time they display the coarser sense and the more vulgar sagacity of practical men of business.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
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

The natural man inevitably rebels against mathematics, a mild form of torture that could only be learned by painful processes of drill.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
This was not after all a conventional war, a struggle between equally predacious powers it was a war to end all wars.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Every one at the bottom of his heart cherishes vanity even the toad thinks himself good-looking,--rather tawny perhaps, but look at his eye!
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Be militant! Be an organization that is going to do things! If you can find older men who will give you countenance and acceptableleadership, follow them but if you cannot, organize separately and dispense with them. There are only two sorts of men to be associated with when something is to be done: Those are young men and men who never grow old.
