Quote

Philanthropy is the thing that I am really excited about, and having success means I can do more.

Philanthropy is my job.

I'll get involved in philanthropy.

I get great satisfaction from both business and philanthropy.

Philanthropy is in the DNA of my family.

The most generous part of your philanthropy could be the time you put in to procure the same results and same outcomes and same returns you demand in business.

Shouldn't you put the same amount of effort into your giving as you might for your for-profit investments? After all, philanthropy is an investment, and one in which lives - not profits - are at stake.

I am very grateful for the opportunities I've had and feel I have a duty to repay my good fortune through philanthropic endeavors that expand the reach of human possibility and compassion.

You cannot mandate philanthropy. It has to come from within, and when it does, it is deeply satisfying.

I always had the old-school model that I'm going to work for as long as I'm relevant and focus on for-profit activities and someday when I retire I'm going to learn about philanthropy.
