If you don't improve the lives of the poor, it's not charity.

Charity is very difficult to do right. Thinking through what people need: You can't start a charity without that. It's like starting a business without the product.

Recruiting is the hardest part of any business, but in charity, it is 10 times harder.

My choice was to ruin my son's life by giving him money or giving 90-plus percent to charity. Not much of a choice.

Philanthropy is natural. For a mother, taking care of her children is natural. If I am rich, I take care of the poor, like a mother would.

If your mind is still, you're the happiest.
