Famous figures don't just inspire us. They point us to stores of value. They show us the attitudes, acts, qualities, aims, and commitments that work in the world. Influential figures suggest the patterns that we can follow to make our own way in the world toward the ends for which our creator made us. Read here about transformative but under-appreciated figures from antiquity to modernity, along with suggestions for how these figures can transform you.
