President Woodrow Wilson

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

    The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    I see the first lady as another means to keep a president from becoming isolated.
    Nancy Reagan (b. 1923)

    It has become a people’s war, and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and variety of fortune, are involved in its sweeping processes of change and settlement.
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
