Philanthropy is no longer about writing a check for $10,000 to the opera.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Treasures are no longer to be got by instrumental art.
The opera always loses money. That's as it should be. Opera has no business making money.
Awards do not pay the mortgage.
There is no correlation between happiness and amounts of money.
Money is a way of expressing no compromise.
For the past ten years I have had no financial problems.
Philanthropy is not about giving money but about solving problems. While well-meaning, the idea of writing a check and calling it 'philanthropy' is extremely short-sighted and unfortunately, extremely pervasive.
There can be no compromise regarding corruption.
The results of philanthropy are always beyond calculation.
There is no concept more generally cherished by publishers than that of the Undeserving Poor.
