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

The profit orientation is only one orientation of a person. The same people who are interested in profit-making are also selfless. I am not saying that capitalist theory is wrong. I am saying that it has not been interpreted and practiced fully.

In my experience, poor people are the world's greatest entrepreneurs. Every day, they must innovate in order to survive. They remain poor because they do not have the opportunities to turn their creativity into sustainable income.

I am proposing to create another kind of business, based on "selflessness" that is in all of us. I am calling it social business.

...one cannot but wonder how an environment can make people despair and sit idle and then, by changing the conditions, one can transform the same people into matchless performers.

Women have plans for themselves, for their children, about their home, the meals. They have a Vision. A man wants to enjoy himself.

Today, the concept of business is to make money. Making money is the name of the business.
