How you see where you are always depends on where you've been.

The only way to end poverty, to make it history, is to build viable systems on the ground that deliver critical and affordable goods and services to the poor, in ways that are financially sustainable and scaleable. If we do that, we really can make poverty history.

Every day we have a choice. We can take the easier road, the more cynical road, which is a road sometimes based on a dream of a past that never was, fear of each other, distancing and blame, or we can take the much more difficult path, the road of transformation, transcendence, compassion, and love, but also accountability and justice.

To be part of building a movement, you have to keep moving.

Freedom is what beauty feels like when it can most express itself.

I wrote 'The Blue Sweater' to inspire more people to become engaged in working to solve the problems of global poverty.

Things are always harder than you think they're going to be.
