Generosity in quotes: Thomas H. Lake

“There is a big difference between being rich and giving some money away—and being a good steward
willing to share your assets. When you share in the proper way, there is more to it than just giving; there is something else that goes along with that gift—even a part of yourself to a degree. You become attached in a supporting sense.”
Tom Lake, philanthropist and long-time CEO of Eli Lilly and Company, as quoted in “Thoughtful Giving: The Legacy of Thomas H. and Marjorie Lytle Lake”
