About This Quote
If you have the power to change the world for the better, you should do it. That's why people who do nothing are idiots, but idiots who do nothing are life-savers. When people with power don’t use that power to help those around them, they are idiots. It is better to be a life-saver than an idiot. If everyone decided that they would not be an idiot anymore and use their power for good, we could solve many of the problems we face as a society today.
