Woodrow Wilson actually said...

"Nothing has impressed me more, or impressed me more painfully, than the degree in which the rest of the world trusts us and looks to us."

"The world will be turned back to cynicism if America goes back on it."

"I ask you even as a business proposition whether it is more useful to trade with a cynic or with an optimist."

"The real difficulty in all political reform is to know whether you can translate your theories into facts or not."
