I am so glad that I am young,...

I am so glad that I am young, so that I may give my youth to you.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Every one at the bottom of hi...

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 559 quotes

Just what is it that America ...

Just what is it that America stands for? If she stands for one thing more than another, it is for the sovereignty of self-governing people, and her example, her assistance, her encouragement, has thrilled two continents in this western world with all those fine impulses which have built up human liberty on sides of the water. She stands, therefore, as an example of independence, as an example of free institutions, and as an example of disinterested international action in the main tenets of justice.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

America is the only idealistic nation in the world.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Once lead this people into wa...

Once lead this people into war, and they'll forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance. To fight, you must be brutal and ruthless, and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fiber of our national life, infecting Congress, the courts, the policeman on the beat, the man in the street.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

There is here a great melting...

There is here a great melting pot in which we must compound a precious metal. That metal is the metal of nationality.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The westward march has stoppe...

The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickenswith the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The only thing that saves the...

The only thing that saves the world is the little handful of disinterested men that are in it.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

No peace can last, or ought t...

No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

There is such a thing as man ...

There is such a thing as man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

I have rather a strange objec...

I have rather a strange objection to talking from the back platform of a train.... It changes too often. It moves around and shifts its ground too often. I like a platform that stays put.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Such a mind we must desire to...

Such a mind we must desire to see in a woman,--a mind that stirs without irritating you, that arouses but does not belabour, amuses and yet subtly instructs.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

When I think of the flag.... ...

When I think of the flag.... I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of liberty and justice, and stripes of blood to vindicate those rights, and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

God knows that any man who wo...

God knows that any man who would seek the presidency of the United States is a fool for his pains. The burden is all but intolerable, and the things that I have to do are just as much as the human spirit can carry.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

No thoughtful man ever came t...

No thoughtful man ever came to the end of his life, and had time and a little space of calm from which to look back upon it, who did not know and acknowledge that it was what he had done unselfishly and for others, and nothing else, that satisfied him in the retrospect, and made him feel that he had played the man.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

I have sometimes heard men sa...

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 559 quotes

I firmly believe in Divine Pr...

I firmly believe in Divine Providence. Without belief in Providence I think I should go crazy. Without God the world would be a maze without a clue.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The natural man inevitably re...

The natural man inevitably rebels against mathematics, a mild form of torture that could only be learned by painful processes of drill.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The interesting and inspiring...

The interesting and inspiring thing about America is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for humanity itself.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

But the right is more preciou...

But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts
