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

When you are 81 years old, you don't really need a lot of the trappings of wealth.

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

I suppose in the back of my mind I was always one of those guys who had a disdain for money. It had a value if you wanted to buy something, but if you didn't want to buy something, you didn't need it.

We made some mistakes. We had some managers we didn't like and had to get rid of, and that cost some money. Stuff like that. But overall, we did really well.

After I saved some money, I quit work and went to a local college.

A lot of the city boys in London, a lot of the hedge-fund, young city workers at the height of the financial boom were a lot of working-class, brilliantly minded young fellows and women.

For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.
