• The fact that the infrastructure is falling apart is not necessarily because it's built poorly. The New York City subways were built in 1903.

They overbuilt these things - traffic on them is like an ant on an elephant.

• The human spirit is extraordinary. If we give the 3 billion people who live in poverty the opportunity to change their lives, they will.
