President Woodrow Wilson

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

    The man who reads everything is like the man who eats everything: he can digest nothing, and the penalty of crowding one’s mind with other men’s thoughts is to have no thoughts of one’s own.

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

    The example of America must be the example, not merely of peace because it will not fight, but of peace because it is the healing and elevating influence of the world, and strife is not. There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
