When you give away large sums of money, you can cause as much damage as you may do good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I personally think that money can do very little. And this has been my experience all across.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking, 'Is that a $20 million take?' That kind of thing, and being self-critical.
In America, people with lots of money can easily avoid the consequences of bad bets and big losses by cashing out at the first sign of trouble.
I enjoy giving money away. The more you give, the more you get.
There is a place and a time for philanthropy, and there is only so much money you can give away.
For every dollar you give away, you'll get a hundred back. And for every buck you steal, you'll lose a thousand.
You can express your generosity in ways that are virtually limitless. This was what I wanted to convey in 'Giving 2.0' - that whether you have $10 or $10 million to give, if you identify the right opportunities and make the most of your resources, your impact can be tremendous.
Money can be taken away from you, by the IRS or by pistol. That's why I always measure riches in terms of wisdom. No one can ever take from you what you know.
If people are going to give, they're going to give. And it doesn't matter if you give a dollar or five dollars or a hundred dollars or a million dollars; it's all according to your ability.
