Woodrow Wilson actually said...

"We have been students of your history, sir."

"I want to reecho the hope that we may all work together for a great peace as distinguished from a mean peace."

"Our men have come with the spirit of the crusades against that which was wrong and in order to see to it, if it is possible, that such terrible things never happen again."

"You can realize, therefore, sir, with what emotion I receive the honor which you have so generously conferred upon me of the citizenship of this great city."
