Donaciju je namjenio University of California u San Diegu. U svojoj izjavi 83-godišnji Sanford kaže: “Imao sam priliku uvjeriti se kako samilost, humanost i ljubaznost mogu promijeniti ljude i svijet.” Sanfordovo bogatstvo se procjenjuje na 2,6 milijarde i planira ga u cjelosti donirati prije smrti.

Dalai Lama: Sedam milijardi ljudi treba osjećaj jedinstva
I znanstvenici kažu da je ljudska priroda suosjećajna. Sva živa bića koja imaju osjećaj ugode i boli u konačnici opstaju zahvaljujući ljubavi i suosjećanju. Ako mi ljudi pomažemo jedni drugima, služimo jedni drugima, suosjećamo, bit ćemo sretni.
Scientists declare that it's human nature to be compassionate. All living beings who experience feelings of pleasure and pain ultimately survive as a result of love and compassion. If we human beings help each other, serve each other, with compassion, we'll be happy.

In our world today, we’re heavily dependent upon each other. It’s essential, therefore, that we cooperate with one another—then we’ll be able to solve many problems. Good relations, heart to heart, are important and necessary—everything depends upon our having a good motivation.

I urge young women to accept leadership roles. We need you to promote love and compassion. Realise my dream—that the 200 nations of the world be governed by women. There’ll be less war, violence, and economic and social injustice because strength is rooted in love and compassion

As human beings, all 7 billion of us are born the same way and die the same way. Physically, mentally and emotionally we are the same. We all want to live a happy life and avoid problems, but in a materialistic culture we overlook the importance of love and affection.

I believe that if we make an effort to develop peace of mind within ourselves and cultivate a proper appreciation of the oneness of humanity, we can create a happier, more peaceful world. What we need is common sense—the positive use of intelligence—and warm-heartedness.

Time is always moving on, Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we use our time properly or not. We can’t do anything about the past, but what happens in the future depends on what we do now.

Tackling destructive emotions and practicing loving-kindness is how we should live in the here and now. I am convinced we can become happier individuals, happier communities and a happier humanity by cultivating a warm heart, allowing our better selves to prevail.

Riješite se destruktivnih emocija i prakticirajte ljubaznost – to je način kako treba živjeti ovdje i sada. Uvjeren sam da možemo postati sretniji pojedinci, sretnije zajednice i sretno čovječanstvo njegujući toplinu srca, dopuštajući da naša bolja strana prevlada.
A fundamentally positive approach is to take account of the oneness of humanity. Dividing the world into 'us' and 'them' might have worked in the past, but it doesn't any more. We have to talk through our problems with our opponents, thinking of them as our fellow human beings.

Religion is about cultivating a more peaceful mind, so it’s disappointing if it becomes a source of conflict. Our traditions share a common message of love and compassion, patience and tolerance. If we also remember the advice about forgiveness, there’ll be no basis for conflict.
