More quotes by Muhammad Yunus
If we want to help poor people out, one way to do that is to help them explore and use their own capability. Human being is full of capacity, full of capability, it's a wonderful creation, but many people never get a chance to explore that, never know that she or he has that.
Muhammad Yunus
Unprecedented technological capabilities combined with unlimited human creativity have given us tremendous power to take on intractable problems like poverty, unemployment, disease, and environmental degradation. Our challenge is to translate this extraordinary potential into meaningful change.
Muhammad Yunus
The oneness of human beings is the basic ethical thread that holds us together.
Muhammad Yunus
What I learned in school, what I learned in the educational part of my life. Trying to acquire a kind of a bird's eye view. You drive hard and see everything. And that's called education because now you can see everything.
Muhammad Yunus
All people are entrepreneurs, but many don't have the opportunity to find that out.

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
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
I had only immediate things today, only today, not tomorrow. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Today I can see myself like crystal.
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
I went to the bank and proposed that they lend money to the poor people. The bankers almost fell over.
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.
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
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
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
Access to quality education has enabled me to reach far beyond the Bangladeshi village I grew up in.
Muhammad Yunus
Like navigation markings in unknown waters, definitions of poverty need to be distinctive and unambiguous. A definition that is not precise is as bad as no definition at all.
Muhammad Yunus
Human beings have enormous resilience.
Muhammad Yunus
