Chuck Feeney People Quotations

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.

People who have money have an obligation. I wouldn't say I'm entitled to tell them what to do with it but to use it wisely.

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.

People used to ask me how I got my jollies, and I guess I'm happy when what I'm doing is helping people and unhappy when what I'm doing isn't helping people.

I’m happy when what I’m doing is helping people and unhappy when what I’m doing isn’t helping people.

I had one idea that never changed in my mind—that you should use your wealth to help people.
