Charity can be the outward expression of faith and hope.

If you're an enthusiast and you love the world like I do, it comes naturally. But I think charity must become more fun to give, more interactive and imaginative.

Giving back is the right thing to do, whether it's donating clothing or even just a smile to someone who needs it.

I always learned to be philanthropic... to give back.

Charity is important; so is being fair and honest and honorable in your business - but you cannot mix the two.

Giving feels good, but it's also good for the bottom line. Charity is a viable growth strategy for a lot of companies. Our customers get excited to be a part of what we're doing. If you ask anyone wearing Toms how they first heard about us, most won't mention an advertisement; they'll say a friend told them our story.

Charity must become a fundamental state of mind and heart that guides us in all we do.

There is a place and a time for philanthropy, and there is only so much money you can give away.

Philanthropy is natural. For a mother, taking care of her children is natural. If I am rich, I take care of the poor, like a mother would.
