"What is one percent? One percent is the girl in Africa who gets to go to school-thanks to you. One percent is the AIDS patient who gets her medicine-thanks to you. One percent is the African entrepreneur who can start a small family business-thanks to you. One percent is not decorating presidential palaces or money flowing down a rat hole. This one percent is digging waterholes to provide clean water. To give one percent more is right, it's smart. And it's blessed."

"There should be no more poor among you."
