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.

America is the only idealistic nation in the world.

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 559 quotes

The things that the flag stan...

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.

Freedom exists only where the people take care of the government.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The wisest thing to do with a...

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 559 quotes

We want the spirit of America...

We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character to display itself in what I may, perhaps, be allowed to call spiritual efficiency - clear disinterested thinking and fearless action

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The only way your powers can ...

The only way your powers can become great is by exerting them outside the circle of your own narrow, special, selfish interests. And that is the reason of Christianity. Christ came into the world to save others, not to save himself; and no man is a true Christian who does not think constantly of how he can lift his brother, how he can assist his friend, how he can enlighten mankind, how he can make virtue the rule of conduct in the circle in which he lives.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

We live in an age disturbed, ...

We live in an age disturbed, confused, bewildered, afraid of its own forces, in search not merely of its road but even of its direction

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The rule for every man is, no...

The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him-not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The highest and best form of ...

The highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of a free people.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The success of a party means ...

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 559 quotes

The presidential office is no...

The presidential office is not a rosewater affair. This is an office in which a man must put on his war paint.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

They do not need our praise. ...

They do not need our praise. They do not need that our admiration should sustain them. There is no immortality that is safer than theirs. We come not for their sakes but for our own, in order that we may drink at the same springs of inspiration from which they themselves drank.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The legislator must be in adv...

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 559 quotes

Settlements may be temporary,...

Settlements may be temporary, but the action of the nations in the interest of peace and justice must be permanent. We can set up permanent processes. We may not be able to set up permanent decisions.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

It is not men that interest o...

It is not men that interest or disturb me primarily; it is ideas. Ideas live; men die.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Tolerance is an admirable intellectual gift; but it is of little worth in politics.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

A sure sign of an amateur is too much detail to compensate for too little life.

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