I’m happy when what I’m doing is helping people and unhappy when what I’m doing isn’t helping people.

I set out to work hard, not to get rich.

There has to be a balance in life. A balance of business, family, and the opportunity to learn and teach.

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

I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.... Interventions have greater value and impact today than if they are delayed.
