F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes, Leadership Quotes, Believe Quotes

People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher -- a Roosevelt, a Tolstoi, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away.

Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.

What great masses of men wish done, will be done; and they do not wish it for a freak, but because it is their state and natural end.
