To win the big stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our own country — your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents. Napoleon Hill
About This Quote

For those of you who are interested in changing the world, the best way to do that is not to look to the future but to look back, to those who have gone before. The people who have changed society are not the ones who are living now, but those who lived 100 years ago. Take for example, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was very concerned with the treatment of African-Americans.

He worked with President Andrew Jackson to abolish slavery. Then, it took another hundred years for this issue to be finally resolved. However, after all of his work, he was assassinated.
