No peace can last, or ought to...

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

People will endure their tyran...

People will endure their tyrants for years, but they tear their deliverers to pieces if a millennium is not created immediately.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Responsibility is proportionat...

Responsibility is proportionate to opportunity.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Self-determination is not a me...

Self-determination is not a mere phrase. It is an imperative principle of action, which statesmen will henceforth ignore at their peril.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The cure for bad politics is t...

The cure for bad politics is the same as the cure for tuberculosis. It is living in the open.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The literary gift is a very da...

The literary gift is a very dangerous gift to possess if you are not telling the truth, and I would a great deal rather, for my part, have a man stumble in his speech than to feel he was so exceedingly smooth that he had better be watched both day and night.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The masters of the government ...

The masters of the government of the United States are the combined capitalists and manufacturers of the United States.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

The presidential office is not...

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

A nation is as great, and only...

A nation is as great, and only as great, as her rank and file.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

A presidential campaign may ea...

A presidential campaign may easily degenerate into a mere personal contest, and so lose its real dignity. There is no indispensable man.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Every man who takes office in ...

Every man who takes office in Washington either grows or swells, and when I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing. The mischief of it is that when they swell, they do not swell enough to burst.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

High society is for those who ...

High society is for those who have stopped working and no longer have anything important to do.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

I had rather have everybody on my side than be armed to the teeth.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

I have sometimes heard men say...

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

If I cannot retain my moral in...

If I cannot retain my moral influence over a man except by occasionally knocking him down, if that is the only basis upon which he will respect me, then for the sake of his soul I have got occasionally to knock him down.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

If you would be a leader of me...

If you would be a leader of men, you must lead your own generation, not the next.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

It's harder for a leader to be...

It's harder for a leader to be born in a palace than to be born in a cabin.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Jefferson's Declaration of Ind...

Jefferson's Declaration of Independence is a practical document for the use of practical men. It is not a thesis for philosophers, but a whip for tyrants; it is not a theory of government but a program of action.

Woodrow Wilson 559 quotes

Justice has nothing to do with...

Justice has nothing to do with expediency. Justice has nothing to do with any temporary standard whatever. It is rooted and grounded in the fundamental instincts of humanity.

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.
