My mother was given to a typical question: "We have always done this. Why should we do anything else?" But my wife's typical question was "We have always done this. Why don't we do it another way or, better still, why not do something else?"

I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.

Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.

The best philanthropy is constantly in search of the finalities-a search for a cause, an attempt to cure evils at their source.

Giving is the secret to a healthy life. Not necessarily money, but whatever a person has to give of encouragement, sympathy, and understanding.

It is very important to remember what other people tell you, not so much what you yourself already know.

I have made many millions but they have brought me no happiness.
