Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point.

A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away, but once a fortune is inherited it's less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society.

I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars; there's a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that.

Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water is saved by letting out stagnant water.

Riches do not consist in the possession of treasures, but in the use made of them.

Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner.
