David Rubenstein Quotes

What is important is family, friends, giving back to your community and finding meaning in life.

First, love to the family. Second, love to career. Third, love to the audience.

As long as you understand that you find happiness through family, friends and love, then money is just a nice bonus.

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: 'I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love.' But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

Money can't heal your heart. Money can't give you purpose. I don't want arms and legs, I want purpose. I don't want arms and legs, I want peace. I don't want arms and legs, I want to be a miracle for someone else.

I enjoy what I'm able to give my family.
