Active people don't change the world profoundly; ideas do. Napoleon is less important in world history than Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Things don't have to change the world to be important.

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

The only people in the world who can change things are those who can sell ideas

All I want to do is change the world.
