I have always felt intuitively that somehow such wealth cannot be the privy of any one person or any one family.

I think that any wealth creates a sense of trusteeship... it is characteristic of the new generation which has created wealth to have some amount of responsibility for it.

You cannot get into business for the fashion of it.

The responsibility of philanthropy rests with us. The wealthier we are, the more powerful we get. We cannot put the entire onus on the government.

You cannot mandate philanthropy. It has to come from within, and when it does, it is deeply satisfying.

You cannot underestimate the value of luck in success in life. And I've really learned to appreciate that.
