I don't think anyone enjoys raising money, but for some reason I seem to have a knack.

I know about raising money.

You don't have to raise millions of dollars to be successful, you just have to work on something you are passionate about.

I believe with great fortunes come great responsibility, so with our family's assets and many wealthy friends, we could help raise a lot of money to help others.

I hate raising money. It diverts you from what your real task is: to be a representative. You're diverted into preservation when you really want to spend your time and energy making a better state and a better country - which is the reason you ran in the first place.

Today, we don't blink an eye when the world's wealthiest individuals donate enormous sums of money to charitable causes. In fact, we expect them to do so.

This is the other thing: we make the cost of raising kids higher than it has to be just because we feel they need all this stuff, like gadgets, certain schools, and activities that are nice but aren't really necessary.

It's one thing to donate money. It's a whole other thing to give an opportunity for someone to make his own money.

Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food.

Giving a poor person money keeps them poor.
