The more you give, the more you live.

Giving is what fuels us. Giving is our future.

When you're buying a pair of TOMS, if you don't feel like you're part of a community, then I've failed.

Who is Tom? There is no Tom. If we sell a pair of shoes today, we give away a pair of shoes tomorrow. Originally we thought of "Tomorrow's Shoes," but I could only fit "TOMS" on the label. I had no idea everybody would want to meet him. There is no Tom; it's an idea for a better tomorrow.

No matter how convenient it is for us to reach out to people remotely, sometimes the most important task is to show up in person.

One day, when I own a house, I'll keep a library full of books. Books are different from other possessions-they're more like friends.

I did what I think a lot of entrepreneurs do. I started putting up a lot of ads on Craigslist for interns.
