  • ON CHARITY:

“The highest level of giving…is giving in a way that makes the receiver self-sufficient… When I went to Angola for the water project I was working on…I wasn’t happy because I felt like I had done something great. I was happy to know that whatever money I’d given was actually being put to work and not just paying a seven-figure salary for the head of the Red Cross.”
