Work as if you live in the early days of a better nation.

Alasdair Gray
About This Quote

If you want a better future then work to make it so. In the early days of the United States, America was a poor country filled with injustice and prejudice. The country moved from being a place of political and religious divisions to one filled with equality and knowledge. In the early years of the United States, people worked as if they lived in those early days of a better nation.

They worked hard because they lived in those early days. They fought for what they believed in and worked to build a nation where everyone could have equal rights and opportunities.
