Muhammad Yunus
  • Human beings are much bigger than just making money.

  • I had no idea that I would ever get involved with something like lending money to poor people, given the circumstances in which I was working in Bangladesh.

  • I went to the bank and proposed that they lend money to the poor people. The bankers almost fell over.

  • I said peace is sometimes narrowly interpreted it's the absence of conflict between nations or something. But peace is more inherent, more basic to human life, human beings, what we feel about each other, what we feel about life around us and what we see in our future.

  • But we have created a society that does not allow opportunities for those people to take care of themselves because we have denied them those opportunities.
