More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of the government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
Woodrow Wilson
Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson
America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.
Woodrow Wilson
Princeton is no longer a thing for Princeton men to please themselves with. Princeton is a thing with which Princeton men must satisfy the country.
Woodrow Wilson
Any man that resists the present tides that run in the world, will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and barren that it will seem he has been separated from his human kind forever.
Woodrow Wilson
Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.
Woodrow Wilson
The shadows that now lie dark upon our path will soon be dispelled and we shall walk with the light all about us if we but be true to ourselves.
Woodrow Wilson
The only use of an obstacle is to be overcome. All that an obstacle does with brave men is, not to frighten them, but to challenge them.
Woodrow Wilson
By 'radical,' I understand one who goes too far by 'conservative,' one who does not go far enough by 'reactionary,' one who won't go at all.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.
Woodrow Wilson
The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose. No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic party. It seeks to use it to interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
Woodrow Wilson
The wisest thing to do with a fool is to encourage him to hire a hall and discourse to his fellow-citizens . Nothing chills nonsense like exposure to the air.
Woodrow Wilson
There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who reads everything is like the man who eats everything: he can digest nothing, and the penalty of crowding one's mind with other men's thoughts is to have no thoughts of one's own.
Woodrow Wilson
Responsibility is proportionate to opportunity.
Woodrow Wilson
Every great man of business has got somewhere a touch of the idealist in him.
Woodrow Wilson
We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.
Woodrow Wilson
Where the great force lies, there must be the sanction of peace.
Woodrow Wilson
The law that will work is merely the summing up in legislative form of the moral judgment that the community has already reached.
