As philanthropists, the most powerful legacy we can create is one that keeps on giving - through our children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe our legacy will be defined by the accomplishments and fearless nature by which our daughters and sons take on the global challenges we face. I also wonder if perhaps the most lasting expression of one's humility lies in our ability to foster and mentor our children.
The most amazing philanthropists are people who are actually making a significant sacrifice.
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
Our nation's children are our greatest asset and our most precious treasure.
Philanthropy is in the DNA of my family.
In the meantime, we see there are charities that spend much of their scarce resources that should be going directly to the children to overcome this gulf that separates them from both the donors and the needy.
Maybe we all need to leave our children with a value legacy, and not a financial one. A value for things with a personal touch - an autographed book, a soul-searching letter.
We owe it to our children to give them a dignified and hopeful future.
It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.
