You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Image
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
Image
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
I have no happy fairyland vision that she can win.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The method of political science is the interpretation of life its instrument is insight, a nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson

Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.
