History shows us that the people who end up changing the world - the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries - are always nuts, until they are right, and then they are geniuses. ―John Eliot

Each one of us wants to see some or the other kind of change in the world. Some of us want to feed the poor, some of us want to get rid of racism, some want to change the political system, while some want the world to be a more peaceful place. And over and over, we keep blaming others for not letting any change to occur in the society.

However, what we do not realize is that it is, in fact, us who are responsible. Like Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." So, want to make a difference?
Here are a few quotes to get you going.
