Woodrow Wilson actually said...

"The facts of the world are such that it is my duty to counsel my fellow citizens that preparation for national defense can not any longer be postponed."

"I am sorry that upon the eve of a campaign we should be obliged to discuss these things, for fear they might run over into the campaign and seem to constitute a part of it."

"We want American character to display itself in what I may perhaps be allowed to call spiritual efficiency."

"I get a great deal more inspiration outside of Washington than inside of it."
