It's the combination: big idea with a good entrepreneur: there's nothing more powerful. That's just as true [for] education and human rights as it is for hotel or steels.

Entrepreneurs almost always have to step out of existing institutions that embody old ways of doing things to build their vision.

There is nothing more powerful than a new idea in the hands of a social entrepreneur

Everyone says youve got to do a foundation and legal structure to finance social change. What nonsense!

Change begets change as much as repetition reinforces repetition.

Imagine a world where everyone is really a change maker.

Social entrepreneurs are married to a vision of, for example, a better way of helping young people grow up or of delivering global healthcare. They simply will not stop because they cannot be happy until their vision becomes the new pattern.
