More quotes by Muhammad Yunus
My vision for the future? Two things: to make credit a human right so that each individual human being will have the opportunity to take loans and implement his or her ideas so that self-exploration becomes possible. And second: that it will lead to a world where nobody has to suffer from poverty - a world completely free from poverty.
Muhammad Yunus
If you want to do something you have to imagine it. If you don’t imagine it, it will never happen
Muhammad Yunus
Health care can be made more affordable for the poor without requiring major new scientific developments, just the smart application of current technologies. We have seen a $25 incubator and diagnostic instruments that are built tough, cheap, and reusable for the developing world.
Muhammad Yunus
The oneness of human beings is the basic ethical thread that holds us together.

Muhammad Yunus
Women have plans for themselves, for their children, about their home, the meals. They have a Vision. A man wants to enjoy himself.
Muhammad Yunus
Each individual person is very important. Each person has tremendous potential. She or he alone can influence the lives of others within the communities, nations, within and beyond her or his own time.
Muhammad Yunus

Muhammad Yunus
I am proposing to create another kind of business, based on selflessness that is in all of us. I am calling it social business.
Muhammad Yunus
I believe that we can create a poverty-free world because poverty is not created by poor people. It has been created and sustained by the economic and social systems that we have designed for ourselves the institutions and concepts that make up that system the policies that we pursue.
Muhammad Yunus
All people are entrepreneurs, but many don't have the opportunity to find that out.
Muhammad Yunus
My experience working in the Grameen Bank has given me faith an unshakable faith in the creativity of human beings. It leads me to believe that humans are not born to suffer the misery of hunger and poverty. They suffer now as they did in the past because we turn our heads away from this issue.
Muhammad Yunus
People need such a small amount of money to deal with their own daily life. Because wherever I went to school they taught me about millions of dollars. I dealt with billions of dollars in national plans and investment plans and so on. Not this tiny money, $27 for 42 people.
Muhammad Yunus
Human beings have enormous resilience.
