I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day  when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.

James Harvey Robinson

James Harvey Robinson (June 29, 1863 - February 16, 1936) was an American historian.

Robinson was born Bloomington, Illinois. He taught history at the University of Pennsylvania (1891 - 95) and Columbia University (1895 - 1919), becoming a full professor in 1895.

In 1919, he was one of the founders of the New School for Social Research, of which he was the first director. Through his writings and lectures, in which he stressed the "new history" — the social, scientific, and intellectual progress of humanity rather than merely political happenings — he exerted an important influence on the study and teaching of history. An editor (1892 - 95) of the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science , he was also an associate editor (1912 - 20) of the American Historical Review and president (1929) of the American Historical Association.
