I asked long ago,’What must I do to be saved?’ The Scripture answered, ‘Keep the commandments, believe, hope, love.’ I was early warned against laying, as the Papists do, too much stress on outward works, or on a faith without works, which as it does not include, so it will never lead to true hope or charity.

I don’t spend any time thinking about my place in history, ever. If people say I changed things, it’s nice, and I take it – but if I could give it to a charity it would be useful. I really believe now that my only job in life is to achieve a state of comfort and happiness.

A lot of other wealthy people feel the responsibility to take some of the wealth they’ve been given and give back: to give a lot of money to a particular cancer charity or to a group researching some particular disease or their alma mater. We haven’t really found anything like that with Trump.
I hope one day I will host my own charity event to give back to society.
