Text Quotes
You can’t be a change-maker by reading a book  (Bill Drayton Quotes) An entrepreneur is someone who brings a pattern change  (Bill Drayton Quotes) We would like to have every middle and high school become a place where there will be lots of examples of youth competence and confidence.  (Bill Drayton Quotes) We are all very deeply the children of our parents and their parents. Far more than we generally realize.  (Bill Drayton Quotes) The life purpose of the true social entrepreneur is to change the world  (Bill Drayton Quotes) It’s the combination: big idea with a good entrepreneur: there’s nothing more powerful  (Bill Drayton Quotes) I was taught by my parents that people who are loud don’t have anything to say. I’ve found if you’re suggesting quite big changes, a quiet style may be reassuring.  (Bill Drayton Quotes) In 1962, when I was 19, I visited India. With introductions from people involved in the U.S. civil rights movement, I was able to visit with several of the leading Gandhians there. The hundred-to-one difference in average per capita income between America and India at the time was a stark reality for the people who became my friends there.  (Bill Drayton Quotes) 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  (Bill Drayton Quotes) Organizations must shift away from repetitive-function hierarchies with rules and enforcement and walls. Instead, we must migrate rapidly to becoming a global ‘team of teams’ that comes together in whatever combination necessary to add the greatest value to the changes underway  (Bill Drayton Quotes) Of course you can do it. It doesn’t require brilliance. It’s just giving yourself permission and then being persistent. Persistent in seeing the problem or opportunity and persistent in thinking about it until you have come up with some interesting ideas that might change the pattern. It’s really a mindset, not anything in the objective world - that is the problem  (Bill Drayton Quotes) It’s the combination: big idea with a good entrepreneur: there’s nothing more powerful. That’s just as true [for] education and human rights as it is for hotel or steels  (Bill Drayton Quotes) Every child must master empathy-based ethics because the rules are changing; the less they apply the less learning them has positive impact  (Bill Drayton Quotes) 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  (Bill Drayton Quotes) There is nothing more powerful than a new idea in the hands of a social entrepreneur  (Bill Drayton Quotes) Imagine a world where everyone is really a change maker  (Bill Drayton Quotes) We need to teach empathy as we do literacy  (Bill Drayton Quotes) What is our job as entrepreneurs if not to change things that are crazy?  (Bill Drayton Quotes) How could any entrepreneur, confronted by such amazing opportunities to help transform the world and to do so with such extraordinary colleagues, be tempted to lose focus? Especially since the work involves such breadth that the boredom of routine or specialization does not exist  (Bill Drayton Quotes) Entrepreneurs almost always have to step out of existing institutions that embody old ways of doing things to build their vision  (Bill Drayton Quotes) All the problems sitting there are an invitation for you to be creative, make use of your skills and resources and find a solution  (Bill Drayton Quotes) What is the most powerful lever you can imagine? A big idea, but only if it’s in the hands of a truly outstanding entrepreneur. It starts with the person and the idea, and then grows to the institution. All three are intertwined  (Bill Drayton Quotes) If everyone is a changemaker, there’s no way a problem can outrun a solution  (Bill Drayton Quotes) What does an entrepreneur do? The first thing is they’ve given themselves permission to see a problem. Most people don’t want to see problems... Once you see a problem and you keep looking at it you’ll find an answer  (Bill Drayton Quotes) Social entrepreneurs are married to a vision of, for example, a better way of helping young people grow up or of delivering global healthcare. They simply will not stop because they cannot be happy until their vision becomes the new pattern  (Bill Drayton Quotes) The job of a social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck  (Bill Drayton Quotes) Listening is understanding. The skill of empathy is a must to be able to listen... One can listen better if one sees the whole  (Bill Drayton Quotes) There are millions of people who can get things done. There are very, very few people who will change the pattern in the whole field  (Bill Drayton Quotes) What is the most powerful force in the world? And I think you would agree that is a big idea if it is in the hands of an entrepreneur who is actually going to make the idea not only happen, but spread all across society. And we understand that in business but we have need for entrepreneurship just as much in education, human rights, health, and the environment as we do in hotels and steel  (Bill Drayton Quotes) We have to have a revolution so that all young people grasp empathy and practice it. This is the most fundamental revolution that we have to get through  (Bill Drayton Quotes)
