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

You cannot get into business for the fashion of it.

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

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.

People are realistic enough to appreciate what the market values of different people are.
