"Let a smile infect you.
Let a job well done enthuse you.
Let an act of solidarity inspire you.
Let abuse infuriate you.
Let injustice move you to action.
Then the next step will be even easier.
Change consists, quite simply, of no longer being indifferent."

--Maria Zapata

"The most important contribution every one of us can make to our society is not solving a specific problem, but increasing the number of people that become promoters of change. As if they were the white blood cells of society, these people will stop with they see something wrong, or where they spot an opportunity. Multiplying society's capacity to adapt and change in an intelligent and constructive way is the best chance we have to solve the world's most demanding problems. Social entrepreneurs are fundamental in catalyzing and managing this transformation."
