Quote

I've always thought that people who left a great deal of money in their will never enjoyed the great honor and privilege and heart-rendering feeling of giving to others during their lifetime, because they were too selfish to give to others while they were alive, so they made sure they were dead and couldn't use it anymore.

Some people never contribute anything positive to society, they may even drain our resources, but most of us try to do something better, to give back.

When I was growing up, we never had much money. My parents were divorced young, but I was always surrounded by loving individuals. They couldn't give us riches, but they gave us their stories, their hearts, and their time.

When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.

I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.

I didn't come from a wealthy family. My dad told us if we wanted spending money, we had to earn it. So I developed an early work ethic.

I have been very fortunate to be successful in business, and I believe that it is right that people who have this type of wealth should give something back into society.

To be honest, I was born in luxury. I never saw the dearth of money, so money is not something which motivates me.

I thank fate for having made me born poor. Poverty taught me the true value of the gifts useful to life.
