Video: Muhammad Yunus awarded the Nobel Peace Prize



International Forum Social Entrepreneurship Award: Honoring Muhammad Yunus.

Professor Yunus  and Grameen Bank  have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize .

See here  for much more about his work and a slew of links from Dina Mehta . (1hr 7mins)

David Gurteen's comments: One of the things that I love about Dr Yunus' talk is his concept of the "social business" - a business not with the objective of making a profit but one of doing "social good" but "not for loss".

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 500 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

Quotations from Plato:

 Dialogue is life.

Plato , (428 BC - 348 BC), Greek philosopher



 You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

Plato 



 No trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies of the freeborn man ... no study, pursued under compulsion, remains rooted in the memory.

Plato 
The Republic 



 Thinking and spoken discourse are the same thing, except that what we call thinking is, precisely, the inward dialogue carried on by the mind with itself without spoken sound.

Plato , (428 BC - 348 BC), Greek philosopher
Sophist
