President Wilson:"A weak and imbecile man, the weakest I've ever knew in a high place. If I wanted to paint a despot, a man perfectly regardless of every Constitutional right of the people, I would paint his hideous form."
Elanor:"That's outrageous!"
President Wilson:"When he goes out of office next March, the whole country except thieves, cowards, public plunderers, office holders, and traitors will rejoice."
Edith Goalt:"Woodrow, that's the last straw! You've got to do something about it. They've no right to say such things about you, even to win an election."
President Wilson:"Oh, they weren't talking about me. That's what they said about Abraham Lincoln when he was running for reelection in 1864."
