Only when a nation has some people who care about the sky can they have hope; A nation only cares about the things at its feet, and that has no future.

It means that a nation needs someone who can be far-sighted, not only to see the present, but also to see the long-term future, and make plans for the future, so that a nation can develop and progress.

This was said by the 18th century German philosopher Hegel.
