Zitat des Tages von Chuck Feeney:
A lot of wealthy people, they don't realize they have the alternatives of spending the money for good.
I always tried to live my life as though nothing changed. People would say, 'You can have a Rolls-Royce'. I'd say to that, 'What do I want with a Rolls-Royce when I can have a Volkswagen or a bike?' Some people get carried away with the juice.
I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.
I'm a shabby dresser.
I believe that people of substantial wealth potentially create problems for future generations unless they themselves accept responsibility to use their wealth during their lifetime to help worthwhile causes.
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 happen to enjoy grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches.
I don't dislike money, but there's only so much money you can use.
It is logical for a U.S. person to give their money away while they are alive, as the government will take it from you when you die in taxes.
I'd be the last guy to tell a wealthy person what to do with their money. They're entitled to do whatever they want.
There are restaurants you can go in and pay $100 a person for a meal. I get as much satisfaction out of paying $25.
I want the last cheque I write to bounce.
