People can change their own lives, provided they have the right kind of institutional support. They're not asking for charity, charity is no solution to poverty. Poverty is the creation of opportunities like everybody else has, not the poor people, so bring them to the poor people, so that they can change their lives.

If you want to do something you have to imagine it. If you don’t imagine it, it will never happen

All people are entrepreneurs, but many don't have the opportunity to find that out.

The poor themselves can create a poverty-free world. All we have to do is to free them from the chains that we have put around them!

Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That's where it will be.

To overcome poverty and the flaws of the economic crisis in our society, we need to envision our social life. We have to free our mind, imagine what has never happened before and write social fiction. We need to imagine things to make them happen. If you don't imagine, it will never happen.

The able bodied poor don't want or need charity.... All they need is financial capital.
