Bill Clinton actually said...

We're making a difference, but we still have more to do.

Charitable gifts now exceed 2 percent of our gross domestic product, the highest level of giving in nearly three decades.

When we give what we can and give it with joy, we don't just renew the American tradition of giving, we also renew ourselves.

That's both humbling and inspiring, and suggests a tremendous potential for growth in charitable giving by well-to-do Americans.
