A tall, lean man in his early 60s with a gaunt face, high forehead, and piercing gray-blue eyes. His posture is slightly stooped from years of academic and political work, and he wears round spectacles that magnify his intense gaze. His hair is thinning and gray, combed neatly to the side.
Georges Clemenceau

Dialog

Woodrow Wilson In principle, this Covenant represents not merely the cessation of hostilities, but the birth of a new moral order among nations.
Georges Clemenceau Moral order? We shall see how long morality lasts when the first reparations payment is late.
Lord Robert Cecil Gentlemen, let us remember that today we lay the cornerstone of perpetual peace. The world watches with bated breath.
Woodrow Wilson By the measure of history's long arc, this moment shall be remembered as when mankind chose cooperation over carnage.
Georges Clemenceau Spare us the lecture, Professor. My people still smell the gunpowder in the air.
Lord Robert Cecil Pax orbis terrarum requires patience from all parties. The ink must dry before we judge the script.
Woodrow Wilson It behooves us to remember that no single nation's interests can outweigh the collective security of all.
