I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.

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

I suppose in the back of my mind I was always one of those guys who had a disdain for money. It had a value if you wanted to buy something, but if you didn't want to buy something, you didn't need it.

I was with a special services unit in the Korean war, and when I got out, the biggest thing I got was a GI scholarship.

I just don't feel respected in the political process as a large donor or as a citizen voter. I just feel patronized. Everything I get is like, 'Hey, you couldn't possibly - it's too complex and sophisticated what really goes on,' and, 'Hey, leave it to us, and we will go and represent you and fight the good fight, and just give us money.'

The faster I make a lot of money, the faster I can have these kids I want.

I was impressed by the Taj Mahal. A good bit of work, well looked after, worth paying money to see.

One of the great political and economic challenges of our time is figuring out the balance between wealth that benefits society and wealth that distorts.
