Woodrow Wilson
Quotations
One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.
Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions.
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles.
That a peasant may become king does not render the kingdom democratic.
There is no question what the roll of honor in America is. The roll of honor consists of the names of men who have squared their conduct by ideals of duty.
In the Lord’s Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
America is not anything if it consists of each of us. It is something only if it consists of all of us.
Interest does not tie nations together; it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance.
You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American.
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
Generally young men are regarded as radicals. This is a popular misconception. The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The radicals are the men past middle life.
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
