Woodrow Wilson,

aus der Rede vor dem US-Kongress am 08.01.1918 zur Verkündung der „14 Punkte“:

„ […] We have no jealousy of German greatness, and there is nothing in this program that impairs it.

We do not wish to injure her (the German nation, M.D.) or to block in any way her legitimate influence or power.

We do not wish to fight her either with arms or with hostile arrangements of trade if she is willing to associate herself with us and the other peace-loving nations of the world in convenants of justice and law and fair dealing.

We wish her only to accept a place of equality among the peoples of the world,

- the new world in which we now live, - instead of a place of mastery! […]“

Die deutsche Übersetzung der Redepassage befindet sich in Kapitel 6: Wilsons Amerika auf S. 113.
