More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Man is much more than a 'rational being' and lives more by sympathies and impressions than by conclusions. It darkens his eyes and dries up the wells of his humanity to be forever in search of doctrine. We need wholesome, experiencing natures, I dare affirm, much more than we need sound reasoning.
Woodrow Wilson
To do things today exactly the way you did them yesterday saves thinking.
Woodrow Wilson
Scholarship cannot do without literature.... It needs literature to float it, to set it current, to authenticate it to all the race, to get it out of closets and into the brains of men who stir abroad.
Woodrow Wilson
The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of a great people. Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.
Woodrow Wilson
That a peasant may become king does not render the kingdom democratic.
Woodrow Wilson
It has become a people's war, and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and variety of fortune, are involved inits sweeping processes of change and settlement.
Woodrow Wilson
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
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
Whate'er my doom It cannot be unhappy: God hath given me The boon of resignation.
Woodrow Wilson
People will endure their tyrants for years, but they tear their deliverers to pieces if a millennium is not created immediately.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag is a flag of liberty of opinion as well as of political liberty.
Woodrow Wilson
One cool judgement is worth a thousand hasty councils.
Woodrow Wilson
I have always in my own thought summed up individual liberty, and business liberty, and every other kind of liberty, in the phrase that is common in the sporting world, 'A free field and no favor.'
Woodrow Wilson
America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture.
Woodrow Wilson
The Bible is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life, the nature of God and spiritual nature and need of men. It is the only guide of life which really leads the spirit in the way of peace and salvation.
Woodrow Wilson
Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power, and to set up among the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles.
Woodrow Wilson
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.
Woodrow Wilson
We shall not, I believe, be obliged to alter our policy of watchful waiting.
Woodrow Wilson
War isn’t declared in the name of God it is a human affair entirely.
Woodrow Wilson
As a matter of fact and experience, the more power is divided the more irresponsible it becomes.
Woodrow Wilson
