Context: If the individual has a right to govern himself, all external government is tyranny. Hence the necessity of abolishing the State.

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:<br><br>I have ruined my country.<br><br>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.'"<br><br>A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.…<br><br>"Monopoly, Or Opportunity?" (1912), criticizing the credit situation before the Federal Reserve was created, in The New Freedom (1913), p. 185<br><br>We have come to be one of the worst ruled… Governments….<br><br>"Benevolence, Or Justice?" (1912), also in The New Freedom (1913), p. 201<br><br>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:<br><br>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.<br><br>John M.

“We stand equally against government by a plutocracy and government by a mob.”
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, 26th president of the United States
Letter to Sir Edward Grey (15 September 1913)
1910s
Context: We stand equally against government by a plutocracy and government by a mob. There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with "the money touch," but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
