Famous quotes containing the word materials:

    “The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples’ characters: he cares much—everything—for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
