Let me first say that I don't think the millennium target of cutting global poverty in half is an impossible or abstract target. I think it is a real and achievable goal.

I can't eradicate poverty, but at least for the people around me, I can help make sure no child is denied a dream.

Eradicate poverty. This is all that matters in my country. When I am out training I think about this a lot; when I am running it is going over in my mind. As a country we cannot move forward until we eradicate poverty.

I believe the quickest and most sure way to reduce poverty, raise living standards and create jobs around the world is to make economies and governments more open and free, thereby encouraging business and entrepreneurship.

World Bank is a bank that's focused on economic development and poverty alleviation.

Anticipate charity by preventing poverty.

Let's take care of the necessities first: give people jobs, and find a way to get us out of poverty.

Alleviating poverty would be the Bank's overarching objective.

I would like to end world hunger and create world peace, stop corruption, stop drugs getting to kids.

The best route out of poverty, to avoid food bank usage, is to make sure more people get a job.
