Herbert Hoover actually said...

"International confidence cannot be builded upon fear."

"It gives me much pleasure to extend to Your Excellency on this auspicious occasion the sincere good wishes of my Government in which I personally join most heartily."

"The triumphant manner in which Your Excellency had maintained the mastery of the American seas, and the glory of the French flag, lead both nations to look to you as the arbiter of the war."

"The resolutions that you have taken in our circumstances, prove that a great mind knows how to make personal sacrifices to secure an important general good."
