Excess of wealth is cause of covetousness.

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.

Those of us who have yet to find philanthropy may find there is a far greater reward from it than from wealth creation.

That's why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.

With wealth, one is in a position of responsibility. You must try to help others. It is as simple as that.

Anticipate charity by preventing poverty.

I had one idea that never changed in my mind - that you should use your wealth to help people.

To despise riches, may, indeed, be philosophic, but to dispense them worthily, must surely be more beneficial to mankind.

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

The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.
