Hans Rosling: New Insights On Poverty

"The seemingly impossible is possible. We can have a good world."

"No tree becomes rooted and sturdy unless many a wind assails it. For by its very tossing it tightens its grip and plants its roots more securely; the fragile trees are those that have grown in a sunny valley."
--Seneca the Younger (57 BCE- 65 AD)

"Everything is an illusion. Life is like a big dream."
--Buddha Shakyamuni
