Woodrow Wilson actually said...

"I think that I am justified in saying that it would constitute something more than an inconvenience."

"I believe that the repeal of the act referred to would be of very great inconvenience to the country."

"I do hereby admonish all citizens of the United States and every person to abstain from every violation of the provisions of the Joint Resolution and Act of Congress above set forth."

"The overwhelming testimony of its value which has come to me convinces me that I should not be justified in acquiescing in its repeal."
