More quotes by Muhammad Yunus

Muhammad Yunus
The moment you say microfinance everybody wants to help you.
Muhammad Yunus
An individual poor person is an isolated island by himself and herself. IT can end that isolation overnight.
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
They said, we have education, but what about jobs? So I started telling them, you should be taking a pledge, and the pledge should be: 'I'm not a job seeker I'm a job giver.' Prepare yourself to be a job giver.
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
Truly affordable but high-quality health care tools and services are the only means by which quality health care can be provided to all.
Muhammad Yunus
Today, the concept of business is to make money. Making money is the name of the business.
Muhammad Yunus
It's very difficult when you have learned something a certain way. Not only your mind absorbs it your eyes also are trained to see in a certain way because eyes are only as good as you've been trained to see.
Muhammad Yunus
