More quotes by Muhammad Yunus
Microcredit has shown how you can reach out to people that conventional banking cannot. It has demonstrated that it's a doable proposition.
Muhammad Yunus
Capitalism has been interpreted as an exclusively profit-centric human engagement. Some have been saying to bring people and planet into the picture. This can be a good change, but it is still not fully operationalized. Are you putting people, planet and profit at the same level?
Muhammad Yunus
Human beings are much bigger than just making money.
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
The challenge I set before anyone who condemns private-sector business is this: If you are a socially conscious person, why don't you run your business in a way that will help achieve social objectives?
Muhammad Yunus
Credit is a human right that should be treated as a human right. If credit can be accepted as a human right, then all other human rights will be easier to establish.
Muhammad Yunus
The only place where poverty should be is in museums.
Muhammad Yunus
Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That's where it will be.
Muhammad Yunus
Access to quality education has enabled me to reach far beyond the Bangladeshi village I grew up in.
Muhammad Yunus
Hunger is the worst form of deprivation of a human being. Although inability to access food is the immediate cause of hunger, the real cause in most of the incidents of hunger is lack of ability to pay for food. If we are looking for ways to end hunger then we should be looking at ways to ensure a reasonable level of income for all
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
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.
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
We can remove poverty from the surface of the earth only if we can redesign our institutions - like the banking institutions, and other institutions if we redesign our policies, if we look back on our concepts, so that we have a different idea of poor people.
Muhammad Yunus
All people are entrepreneurs, but many don't have the opportunity to find that out.
Muhammad Yunus
The process of breaking down fear was always my greatest challenge and it was made easier by the careful work and gentle voices of my female workers.
Muhammad Yunus
I was an economist now turning into a human being - as if these are two different things. I don't know but I did that and then I had no vision.
Muhammad Yunus
To overcome poverty and the flaws of the economic crisis in our society, we need to envision our social life. We have to free our mind, imagine what has never happened before and write social fiction. We need to imagine things to make them happen. If you don't imagine, it will never happen.
Muhammad Yunus
This is not charity. This is business: business with a social objective, which is to help people get out of poverty.
Muhammad Yunus
What we need is to think strategically about development, analyzing a country's potential role in its region and the world in search of opportunities for growth. Platforms like the Global Social Business Summit can facilitate the process on bringing about change.
