I can honestly say that TOMS is my future. I mean I have no desire to start any other company for as long as I live because this is the perfect blend of business and philanthropy to me.

Whenever I made money I invested in myself... I bought whatever I needed to make my career better. I never really spent money on other stuff, like buying expensive cars.

I feel a deep sense of responsibility to share everything that we've learned from TOMS, so that others can learn from both our mistakes and the counterintuitive principles that have guided our success.

When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself.

I gambled on having the strength to live two lives, one for myself and one for the world.

You know, you hear people talk about soul mates? That one person that you see, and that's it for you? Well, TOMS is the business equivalent of a soul mate for me.

My only extravagance in life is my sailboat. I'm bonkers about that, but other than that, I don't spend money on myself.

I think about how I'm spending my money, and I like to spend on my family.

I became a millionaire overnight by signing a piece of paper. I made more money in that one second than my entire family did in their lifetime.

I only do two things in my life, and that's take care of my kids and work. Fortunately, these are my favorite things to do, so it works out.
