If everyone is a changemaker, there's no way a problem can outrun a solution

Every successful organization has to make the transition from a world defined primarily by repetition to one primarily defined by change. This is the biggest transformation in the structure of how humans work together since the Agricultural Revolution.

The most critical variable [to becoming a change-maker] is one's willingness to give oneself permission. To break the mental chains that make us small because everyone tells us we cannot.

Everyone says you've got to do a foundation and legal structure to finance social change. What nonsense!

There is nothing more powerful than a new idea in the hands of a social entrepreneur

The job of a social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck & to provide new ways to get it unstuck.

We need to teach empathy as we do literacy.

What is your personal definition of "good"? _x000D_ _x000D_ A world in which everyone is universally empathetic and exercises love and respect with full change-making power.

It's not to give people fish It's not to teach them how to fish It's to build a new and better fishing industry

Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry.
