Woodrow Wilson
I have no happy fairyland vision that she can win.
Woodrow Wilson
The beauty of a democracy is that you never can tell when a youngster is born what he is going to do with himself, and that no matter how humbly he is born, no matter where he is born, no matter what circumstances hamper him at the outset, he has got a chance to master the minds and lead the imaginations of the whole country.
Woodrow Wilson
Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.

Woodrow Wilson
My best training came from my father.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
Movies are like writing history with lightning.
Woodrow Wilson
The cure for bad politics is the same as the cure for tuberculosis. It is living in the open.
Woodrow Wilson
To be free is not necessarily to be wise. Wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest.
Woodrow Wilson
The fewer the desires, the more peace.
Woodrow Wilson
What is the use of voting? We know that the machines of both parties are subsidized by the same persons, and therefore it is useless to turn in either direction.
Woodrow Wilson
An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of Democracy
Woodrow Wilson
I have received delegations of working men who, apparently speaking with the utmost sincerity, have declared that they would regard it as a genuine hardship if they were deprived of their beer, for example.
Woodrow Wilson
