Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That's where it will be.
Muhammad YunusIn the world of development, if one mixes the poor and the nonpoor in a program, the nonpoor will always drive out the poor, and the less poor will drive out the more poor, unless protective measures are instituted right at the beginning. In such cases, the nonpoor reap the benefits of all that is done in the name of the poor.
Muhammad YunusWe have to get out of this mindset that the rich will do the business and the poor will have the charity.
Muhammad YunusThe 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!
