28 December: Woodrow Wilson

This date in 1856 was the birthdate of former US president Woodrow Wilson. 10 quotes from him:

  1. If you lose your wealth, you have lost nothing; if you lose your health, you have lost something; but if you lose your character, you have lost everything.

  2. If you want to make enemies, try to change something.

  3. The difference between a strong man and a weak one is that the former does not give up after a defeat.

  4. I am sorry for those that disagree with me because I know that they are wrong.

  5. Today's greatest labour-saving device is tomorrow.

  6. We are not put into this world to sit still and know; we are put into it to act.

  7. We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.

  8. If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.

  9. We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.

  10. All things come to him who waits – provided he knows what he is waiting for.
