I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never had ambitions to see how rich I could get. I got a lot of contemporaries that that's their ambition, and I don't know very many of them that are happy.
It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.
Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.
I've been very blessed in my personal life and in my career and I have never been ungrateful for what I have.
The fortune which nobody sees makes a person happy and unenvied.
I suppose I arrived at my charitable commitment largely through guilt. I recognized early on that my good fortune was not due to superior personal character or initiative so much as it was to dumb luck.
As I look back on the last few decades of my life, I am struck by the good fortune that came my way.
I never deviated from my grim determination to someday have all the money I needed and wanted.
Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I've ever thought I'd have.
I never resented anybody for being successful.
