Text Quotes
I like to try to give something back to the community because I feel fortunate for how I was raised and how my life turned out. Each year, with the help of my brother, Grant, we run a charity golf tournament to raise money for the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) At least once a year, I meet with a group called the Giving Pledge. It’s a group of billionaires - including me, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Ted Turner - who have pledged to give away most of their money to charity. We meet for three days to talk about what we’re doing to help make the planet a better place to live  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) I own about 300 pairs of shoes. When I start to go over 300, I have mini-sales from my closet and give the money to charity. It’s my way of recycling; I feel like I can give back to the universe  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) Charities are now working to give people in poor countries access to the Internet. But shouldn’t we spend that money on providing health clinics and safe water? Aren’t these things more relevant? I have no intention of downplaying the importance of the Internet, but its impact has been exaggerated  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) Being charitable provides a boost to your psyche that is tough to replicate in any other way. But note that although any charity will happily take your money, you can give in other ways and still reap the same happiness reward. Volunteering and donating your old or unused belongings have the same result.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) The wealthier I get, the more money I will have to not have, because my goal in getting is giving, and nothing is better than charity.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) In the rest of the world, rich people will give a donation, and businessmen give to charities. But in Mexico, the execution capacity of what we call the social sector is missing. I find it much more effective to set up the actual social organisation and then fund it with my money.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) I’m going to give away a lot more than half my money. I’d be happy to give that to the government if the government put together programs that were like I’m giving away to charity, in which I believe the money is effectively used to help people.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) It’s not that I am against the rich giving money to charities. I’m all for it, and we should think of ways of encouraging more of it. But I also believe that states, rather than individuals, are ultimately a better bet for delivering a fair and just world and reconciling differing interests.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) The biggest thing for me with charity is awareness. Obviously as an athlete, I have an opportunity to make people more aware. The average person doesn’t have that opportunity, so the best way is to spare some money, clothing, food - something. Most of us have a little excess of something that we can give.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) My kids aren’t celebrities. They never made that bargain. We were offered a lot of money to sell pictures of our kids when they were born. You’ll notice there aren’t any. I make no judgment about people who decide differently; a lot of them give the money to charity. For me, it was a matter of principle.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) If I give five flops, I won’t get a job. You have to perform at the box office when you are at the top. No one is running a charity here. People are putting huge amounts of money to make movies, and they want the films to be successful. They have invested money in you, so it is your duty to make sure the film does well.  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) The man who leaves money to charity in his will is only giving away what no longer belongs to him  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes) URGE is a grassroots charity. We organized to get some incubators to give to the hospital for the kids. We donate money to orphanages  (Giving Money To Charity Quotes)
