To find people who don't want anything is rare.

Civil rights leaders are involved in helping poor people. That's what I've been doing all my life.

No nation as rich as ours should have so many people isolated on islands of poverty in such a sea of material wealth.

I wouldn't listen to my parents, but I found out that I absorbed. I never heard what they said - told me - but I did what they did.

I tried. But not everybody thought so.

I believe in humanitarian capitalism, and there are good people on Wall Street.

I have committed my life to helping the poor, and I believe that if more companies followed Wal-Mart's lead in providing opportunity and savings to those who need it most, more Americans battling poverty would realize the American dream.
