The best way poor people can come out of their poverty is to get on the global highway, not on some dirt side road.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Poverty is the frontier we have to be able to cross.
Infrastructure alone won't end poverty. The World Bank had to learn this lesson, too. While we believed too much in bricks and mortar in our early days, we now understand that bringing together funding, technical expertise, and tested knowledge goes much further.
The worst part of great poverty is that you become blind to it.
There are many roads to prosperity, but one must be taken. Inaction leads nowhere.
The only way to have a better world and end poverty is by closing the gap between the top and the bottom.
I believe there is no other way to create decent livelihoods for the world's poorest people than to connect them to global markets as producers, and on fair terms.
You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.
We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.
With political will and strategic initiatives, we can prevent more and more of our global neighbors from falling into the abyss of poverty and instead give future generations the opportunities they need to rise to their fullest potential.
The best route out of poverty, to avoid food bank usage, is to make sure more people get a job.
