President Woodrow Wilson

Famous quotes containing the words woodrow wilson, president and/or wilson:

    Senator Albert B. Fall: “We have been praying for you, Sir.” President Wilson: “Which way, Senator?”

    The President is the direct representative of the American people ... [and is] elected by the people and responsible to them.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    When Wilson got upon his legs in those days he seems to have gone into a sort of trance, with all the peculiar illusions and delusions that belong to a pedagogue gone mashugga. He heard words giving three cheers; he saw them race across a blackboard like Mexicans pursued by the Polizei; he felt them rush up and kiss him.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
