13 Excellent Quotes from the World’s Dreamers – Past & Present

The world that we live in today was shaped by the dreamers of yesterday.   Today, being Martin Luther King day, led me to reflect on the power that dreamers have to make this world a better place.  All of the great innovations and monumental changes across any industry, or Nation were first mere ideas in someone’s mind.  Through passion, dedication, proper planning, hard work, and momentum from others, these ideas manifested into the enhanced World that we live in today.  Where there is movement there is change, and where there is change there are opportunities.  Opportunities for growth, innovation and progress whether we are talking about within a company, industry or society.  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is a shining example of this, but this can also be seen by many other dreamers, both past and present.

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
