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 was with a special services unit in the Korean war, and when I got out, the biggest thing I got was a GI scholarship.

It is incumbent upon each of us to improve spending and savings practices to ensure our own individual financial security and preserve the collective economic well-being of our great society.

Wealth, in even the most improbable cases, manages to convey the aspect of intelligence.

One day I said to my dad, 'Are you disappointed that I'm working a minimum-wage job and I didn't go to college?' I'll never forget his response. He said, 'It's not about how much money you make or what your job is, but it's more about your character. For that, I'm proud of you.'

I realized I was the one doing all the training, earning the money, and my parents were living off of me.
