I want to eradicate poverty. I think that there's a tremendous passion for that inside the World Bank.

Jim Yong Kim

We already have the material means to eradicate deep poverty and thereby eradicate hunger. We have the material means to begin the tremendous clean up of the environmental messes we’ve created. We have, I believe, the psychological, emotional and spiritual means to create a world without war. We have the material means to create a world in which unnecessary human suffering has been drastically diminished. My vision for the future is that we do those things. And I think we will.

Marianne Williamson

My goal is to eradicate poverty. I think we can't have equality until we eradicate poverty.

Rain Dove

If you enter the World Bank office in Washington, D.C., you will see written on the left wall, 'The purpose of the World Bank is to fight poverty with passion.' I had it put up there because I wanted something that unites us as an institution.

James Wolfensohn

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.

Haile Gebrselassie

The World Bank is the monopoly provider of poverty data and, partly due to a leadership change there, the World Bank's reporting has been heavily on the rosy side since about 2000. The Bank's cultivation of an upbeat picture affords a very interesting lesson in statistics and how you can, depending on which numbers you present and how you present them, create a more positive or more negative impression of the evolution of poverty.

Thomas Pogge

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

Jim Yong Kim

We've delegated politics to bankers. The European Central Bank is inside Deutsche Bank, and Deutsche Bank is inside the Bundesbank.

Beppe Grillo

I'd like to change the world. Eradicate poverty, racism, and sexism... all the usual things.

Ian Brown

My dream is for Malawi to be poverty-free, and I intend to eradicate poverty through economic growth and wealth creation.

Joyce Banda

I think there are universal principles that we should want to understand, but that are not necessarily good for us. We could recognise universal propensities which current cultures can't fully eradicate, which we would want to eradicate if we could. Let's say, a tendency for tribal violence. Or racism.

Sam Harris

Nigeria has no business with poverty. With our human and material resources, we shall strive to eradicate poverty from our country.

Olusegun Obasanjo

I have come to believe, deeply and firmly, that we can create a poverty free world if we want to. I came to this conclusion not as a product of a pious dream, but as a concrete result of experience gained in the work of the Grameen Bank.

Muhammad Yunus

My mission is to eradicate poverty.

Dilma Rousseff

I'd worked at the World Bank briefly as an undergrad and studied poverty levels around the world - particularly those earning less than $1.25 a day.

Leila Janah

I think one of the main challenges that the World Bank faces is creating an organizational structure that doesn't get in the way of its staff. We have fantastic staff. People told me as I was coming into the organization that the greatest asset of the World Bank Group is its staff, and I think there's no question that that's the case.
