"When my grandson finished college and decided he wanted to get his Masters degree, he picked a school up in North Carolina, 900 miles from home. It cost me $1400 to carry him and his clothes and everything up there, but guess what - I flew up two years later to see him graduate, and he got an engineering job starting out at $65,000. Then he said, 'Granddaddy, I'm ready to start paying you back.' I said, 'For what? You did what I asked you to do. You don't owe me anything.' 

"Money's nice, but it's for helping people. It's not worth a nickel if you know somebody's in need and you don't want to help them. It doesn't have to be your family. It could be anybody. See here? You might have a pile of money this high when you're living, but when you die it's still going to be this high, and what good did it do? Money doesn't mean anything. I've had it, I've blown it, I've saved it, I've spent it. I don't know why people pile up money when there's a need. You got to help people with it."
