То́мас Ву́дро Ви́льсон — 28-й президент США . Известен также как историк и политолог. Лауреат Нобелевской премии мира 1919 года, присуждённой ему за миротворческие усилия.

Будучи кандидатом от Демократической партии, он был избран губернатором штата Нью-Джерси в 1910 году, а в 1912 году — президентом США, когда голоса сторонников республиканцев раскололись между Теодором Рузвельтом и Уильямом Тафтом. Был переизбран в 1916 году. Второй срок его президентства был отмечен вступлением США в Первую мировую войну и активными дипломатическими усилиями Вильсона по мирному урегулированию, выраженными в «Четырнадцати пунктах». Вильсон стал первым президентом США, посетившим с официальным визитом Европу . Предложения Вильсона были положены в основу Версальского договора. Вильсон был одним из инициаторов создания Лиги Наций, однако Сенат США отказал во вступлении в эту организацию. В 1913 году Вильсон подписал законопроект о создании Федеральной резервной системы, которая выполняет роль центрального банка США, имеет инструменты государственного влияния, но форма собственности капитала является частной — акционерная с особым статусом акций. Находился под сильным влиянием полковника Хауса. Wikipedia

“Congress in session is Congress on public exhibition, whilst Congress in its committee-rooms is Congress at work.”

Woodrow Wilson Congressional Government

Congressional Government, A Study in American Politics (1885; republished 1981), chapter 2, p. 69 (1981)
1880s

“We have stood apart, studiously neutral.”

Message to Congress (7 December 1915)

“As a beauty I'm not a great star,
There are others more handsome by far,
But my face, I don't mind it,
Because I'm behind it —
Tis the people in front that I jar.”

Reported as a misattribution in Paul F. Boller, Jr., and John George, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, & Misleading Attributions (1989), p. 131-32; Boller and George note that Wilson was so fond of quoting this limerick that others thought he had written it. In fact, it was written by a minor poet named Anthony Euwer, and conveyed to Wilson by his daughter Eleanor.

“A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated.”

Section VIII: “Monopoly, Or Opportunity?”, p. 185 http://books.google.com/books?id=MW8SAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA185&dq=%22A+great+industrial+nation%22. Note that this remark has been used as the basis for a fake quotation discussed below.
1910s, The New Freedom (1913)
Контексте: A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom. This is the greatest question of all, and to this statesmen must address themselves with an earnest determination to serve the long future and the true liberties of men.

“There is such thing as a man being too proud to fight.”

Address to Foreign-Born Citizens (10 May 1915)
1910s

“The way to stop financial joy-riding is to arrest the chauffeur, not the automobile.”

1910s

“If you think too much about being re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.”

Rededication and restoration of Congress Hall http://books.google.com/books?id=w0IOAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA30&dq=%22If+you+think+too+much%22, Philadelphia (25 October 1913)
1910s

“Liberty is its own reward.”

Speech in New York City (9 September 1912)
1910s

“You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.”

Address on Latin American Policy before the Southern Commercial Congress http://books.google.com/books?id=_VYEIml1cAkC&q=%22You+cannot+be+friends+upon+any+other+terms+than+upon+the+terms+of+equality%22&pg=PA19#v=onepage Mobile, Alabama (27 October 1913)
1910s

“One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.”

Speech on Military Preparedness, Pittsburgh (29 January 1916)
1910s

“The only reason I read a book is because I cannot see and converse with the man who wrote it.”

Speech in Kansas City (12 May 1905), PWW (The Papers of Woodrow Wilson) 16:99
Unsourced variant: I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
1900s

“So, our honest politicians and our honorable corporation heads owe it to their reputations to bring their activities out into the open.”

Section VI: “Let There Be Light”, p. 36 (Note: different pagination from other references here) http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/readfile?fk_files=1497285&pageno=36
1910s, The New Freedom (1913)

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world: no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

Attributed in Shadow Kings (2005) by Mark Hill, p. 91; This and similar remarks are presented on the internet and elsewhere as an expression of regret for creating the Federal Reserve. The quotation appears to be fabricated from out-of-context remarks Wilson made on separate occasions:

I have ruined my country.

Attributed by Curtis Dall in FDR: My Exploited Father-in-Law, regarding Wilson's break with Edward M. House: "Wilson … evidenced similar remorse as he approached his end. Finally he said, 'I am a most unhappy man. Unwittingly I have ruined my country.'"

A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.…

"Monopoly, Or Opportunity?" (1912), criticizing the credit situation before the Federal Reserve was created, in The New Freedom (1913), p. 185

We have come to be one of the worst ruled… Governments….

"Benevolence, Or Justice?" (1912), also in The New Freedom (1913), p. 201

The quotation has been analyzed in Andrew Leonard (2007-12-21), " The Unhappiness of Woodrow Wilson https://www.salon.com/2007/12/21/woodrow_wilson_federal_reserve/" Salon:

I can tell you categorically that this is not a statement of regret for having created the Federal Reserve. Wilson never had any regrets for having done that. It was an accomplishment in which he took great pride.

John M. Cooper, professor of history and author of several books on Wilson, as quoted by Andrew Leonard
