Traditional charity and aid are never going to solve the problems of poverty.

The time for us to begin innovating and looking for new solutions is now.

After all this atrocity, this is how human beings really pray.

The poor also are willing to make, and do make, smart decisions, if you give them that opportunity.

Why do some people stop growing at age 30, just going from work to the couch and television, when others stay vibrant, curious, almost childlike into their nineties?

The older I get, the more determined I feel to do whatever I can to help release that human potential somehow. Not in a fluffy way nor in a hardcore way. But in that middle ground, that marriage of love and power. I'm not afraid of either.

Honour what is most beautiful about the past and build it into the promise of the future.
