I have always said that human beings are multidimensional beings. Their happiness comes from many sources, not, as our current economic framework assumes, just from making money.

People should wake up in the morning and say 'I am not a job seeker, I am a job-creator.

All people are entrepreneurs, but many don't have the opportunity to find that out.

One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like.

Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society.

In the future the question will not be, "Are people credit-worthy", but rather, "Are banks people-worthy?"

The oneness of human beings is the basic ethical thread that holds us together.

A charity dollar has only one life; a Social Business dollar can be invested over and over again.

This is not charity. This is business: business with a social objective, which is to help people get out of poverty.

Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor.

Human creativity is unlimited. It is the capacity of humans to make things happen which didn't happen before. Creativity provides the key to solving our social and economic problems.

What I see in Nature is a grand design that we can understand only imperfectly, one with which a responsible person must look at with humility.

Go make yourself a plan And be a shining light. Then make yourself a second plan, For neither will come right.

If you ask me, it doesn't matter what life you're living, life never has a solution. No matter how hard the struggles are that you leave behind, new struggles always take their place.

I was better at baseball, but I really loved football.

I find it more enjoyable investing time doing what pleases me, rather than wasting precious time attempting to please everyone else.

Living meaningfully is what brings joy.

If the audience doesn't like it, usually they're just silent. But they've never all walked out at once.

Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment.

Above and beyond having the social life, to have a core group of people that you work with and spend time with and learn how to work with is a nice thing.

We are all Michaelangelos.
