Muhammad Yunus
Access to quality education has enabled me to reach far beyond the Bangladeshi village I grew up in.
Muhammad Yunus
Human beings have enormous resilience.
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
There are cultural issues everywhere - in Bangladesh, Latin America, Africa, wherever you go. But somehow when we talk about cultural differences, we magnify those differences.
Muhammad Yunus

Muhammad Yunus
Making money is no fun. Contributing to and changing the world is a lot more fun.
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
I think, social business is the most logical thing to do. If we had done that, we could reduce all the problems we have.
Muhammad Yunus
So i say, change the base! If you change the base, anybody will be as tall as anybody else! My belief is poverty is not caused by poor ppl. Poverty is caused by the system. Poverty is caused by the policies that we pursue.
Muhammad Yunus
I'm finding that knocking at their mindsets is hard work. A simple knock will not make it crawl. I was trying to push it. I was trying to find a bird's eye view where I could find a big solution. So this is what I was trying.
Muhammad Yunus
I should never seek a job in my life, my mission in life is to create jobs. I am not a job seeker, I am a job giver.
Muhammad Yunus
Grameen Bank was formed as an institution owned by its borrower members, who are poor women. Through its unique decision-making process, Grameen Bank has given millions of women the means to emerge from the shadows in a male-dominated society and to make something of themselves.
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
All people are entrepreneurs, but many don't have the opportunity to find that out.
Muhammad Yunus
We have done some of these in Bangladesh. Whenever I see a problem, I immediately go and create a company. That's what I did all my life.
Muhammad Yunus
People can change their own lives, provided they have the right kind of institutional support. They're not asking for charity, charity is no solution to poverty. Poverty is the creation of opportunities like everybody else has, not the poor people, so bring them to the poor people, so that they can change their lives.
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
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
Truly affordable but high-quality health care tools and services are the only means by which quality health care can be provided to all.
