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."

"The old cry for the defense of your hearth and home does not seem to me a very handsome appeal."

"You know that you have not, and the very fact that the force is not ready may make the task you have set for me all the more delicate and all the more difficult."

"I am sure we have never encouraged in America the spirit of militarism, and we shall never have militarism in the United States."
