“Good economic theory must give the people the chance to use their tale...” — Muhammad Yunus Quote

“Good economic theory must give the people the chance to use their talents to build their own lives. We must get away from the traditional route where the rich will do the business and the poor will depend on private or public charity.”

“Access to quality education has enabled me to reach far beyond the Bangladeshi village I grew up in.”

“I have always said that human beings are multidimensional beings. Their happiness comes from many sources, not, as our current economic framework assumes, just from making money.”

“A lot of other wealthy people feel the responsibility to take some of the wealth they've been given and give back: to give a lot of money to a particular cancer charity or to a group researching some particular disease or their alma mater. We haven't really found anything like that with Trump.”

“I never intended on starting a charity; I never intended on cancer, health, and wellness becoming my life.”

“Charity is important; so is being fair and honest and honorable in your business - but you cannot mix the two.”
