Parents realize their wealth should be used for social good rather than children's good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are parents with wealth who just want their kids to be wealthy, and then there are other parents with money who want to teach their kids how they got it. That's what my dad was like.
Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.
We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.
What good is my parents' wealth and education and upbringing if I'm not contributing to the world?
The trimmings of wealth are not as important to me and my generation as they were to my parents' generation.
In America we believe that every child, no matter where they live, who their family is, or what the color of their skin, is entitled to as good an education as the richest parent in America can give to their children.
It is a truism that children need more of Mother than of money.
Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.
Let individuals create real wealth, empower them, create something that they can leave for their children.
What my parents believed was that, you know, the best wealth they could give to us children was to educate us and, you know - give us that foundation.
