Woodrow Wilson actually said...

"It is now our liberty and our duty to keep our promise to the people of those islands by granting them the independence which they so honorably covet."

"I believe this to be the faith of America, the faith of the future, and of all the victories which await national action in the days to come, whether in America or elsewhere."

"The United States cannot refuse this role of champion without putting the stigma of rejection upon the great and devoted men who brought its government into existence."

"I cannot overemphasize the necessity of economy in Government appropriations and expenditures."
