More quotes by 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
Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That's where it will be.
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
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
This is not charity. This is business: business with a social objective, which is to help people get out of poverty.
Muhammad Yunus
...one cannot but wonder how an environment can make people despair and sit idle and then, by changing the conditions, one can transform the same people into matchless performers.
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'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 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
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
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
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
Making money is a happiness. And that's a great incentive. Making other people happy is a super-happiness.
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
What is entrepreneurship, after all? Bigness is not the issue. Poor people are the ones who take challenges every day. The guy who sells a hot dog on the street is as much an entrepreneur as anyone else. Getting his $50 loan to start could be as difficult as finding $50 million for someone else. All people are entrepreneurs.
Muhammad Yunus
Today, the concept of business is to make money. Making money is the name of the business.
Muhammad Yunus
One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like.
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
The moment you say microfinance everybody wants to help you.
Muhammad Yunus
