Woodrow Wilson actually said...

"The world is not going to settle down, my fellow citizens, until it knows what part the United States is going to play in the peace."

"I know that you have been called together in special session for special objects."

"Our railroads at this moment are not adequate to moving the commerce of this country."

"We ought to give our thought to this, gentlemen: America, though we do not like to admit it, has been very provincial in regard to the world's business."
