"A conservative is a man who just sits and thinks, mostly sits." ― Woodrow Wilson Topic(s): Politics More From Woodrow Wilson "I will not speak with disrespect of the Republican Party. I always speak with respect of the past." "There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with." "We have not given science too big a place in our education, but we have made a perilous mistake in giving it too great a preponderance in method in every other branch of study." More In Politics "As women have played an increasingly important role in politics, there is no question that they’ve brought a different perspective, focusing attention on a broader set of issues and building alliances with other women."― Dee Dee Myers "The poet may be used as a barometer, but let us not forget that he is also part of the weather."― Lionel Trilling "Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives."― John Stuart Mill
