We have three billion people, half the world's population today, living on less than two dollars a day.

We have made a full frontal attack on corruption. The question is whether we can address the question of governance in developing countries and, particularly, corruption.

I was deeply concerned then, and have become more concerned since, that unless we can deal with the questions of development and the questions of poverty, there's no way that we're going to have a peaceful world for our children.

We would have a hard time surviving if we were transported to the time when dinosaurs were around.

A unicorn is a community that's positively impacted the lives of a billion people.

Most website developers say an aggregator website, such as what healthcare.gov is, could be built easily for a half a million dollars. They have spent a half a billion dollars.
