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

You must act in your friends'...

You must act in your friends' interests whether it pleases them or not; the object of love is to serve, not to win.

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.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Death comes along like a gas ...

Death comes along like a gas bill one can't payand that's all one can sayabout it.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

I believe in human liberty as...

I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

One cool judgment is worth a ...

One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty councils. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat. Ay any rate, if it is heat it ought to be white heat and not sputter, because sputtering heat is apt to spread the fire. There ought, if there is any heat at all, to be that warmth of the heart which makes every man thrust aside his own personal feeling, his own personal interest, and take thought of the welfare and benefit of others.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

I confess my belief in the co...

I confess my belief in the common man.... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Let him [the President] once ...

Let him [the President] once win the admiration and confidence of the country, and no other single force can withstand him, no combination of forces will easily overpower him.... If he rightly interpret the national thought and boldly insist upon it, he is irresistible; and the country never feels the zest of action so much as when the President is of such insight and caliber.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Your enlightenment depends on...

Your enlightenment depends on the company you keep. You do not know the world until you know the men who have possessed it and tried its wares before you were ever given your brief run upon it.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

They [the children] live in a...

They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination; they pursue persons and objects that never existed; they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,--and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

From the dim morning hours of...

From the dim morning hours of history when the father was king and priest down to this modern time of history's high noon when nations stand forth full grown and self-governed, the law of coherence and continuity in political development has suffered no serious breach.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Our most dangerous tendency i...

Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little. . . . We must strive for normalcy to reach stability.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

That is Gladstone, the greatest statesman that ever lived. I intend to be a statesman, too.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

So far as the colleges go, th...

So far as the colleges go, the side-shows have swallowed up the circus, and we don't know what is going on in the main tent: and I don't want to continue as ringmaster under those conditions.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

If you would be a leader of m...

If you would be a leader of men you must lead your own generation, not the next. Your playing must be good now, while the play ison the boards and the audience in the seats.... It will not get you the repute of a good actor to have excellencies discovered in you afterwards.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Today, supremely, it behooves...

Today, supremely, it behooves us to remember that a nation shall be saved by the power that sleeps in its own bosom; or by none; shall be renewed in hope, in confidence, in strength by waters welling up from its own sweet, perennial springs. Not from above; not by patronage of its aristocrats. The flower does not bear the root, but the root the flower.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

America is not a mere body of...

America is not a mere body of traders; it is a body of free men. Our greatness is built upon our freedom - is moral, not material. We have a great ardor for gain; but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

We are expected to put the ut...

We are expected to put the utmost energy, of every power that we have, into the service of our fellow men, never sparing ourselves, not condescending to think of what is going to happen to ourselves, but ready, if need be, to go to the utter length of self-sacrifice.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The United States must be neu...

The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name.... We must be impartial in thought as well as in actiona nationthat neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Let it be your pride to show ...

Let it be your pride to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are.
