I only become what I am by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of me.Nothing can stop me with the right mental attitude from achieving my goal; nothing on earth can help me with the wrong mental attitude. Reputation is what men and women think of me what I do not care what they think of me; My character is what the Supreme Being know of me.

The Van Duyn foundation has been run since 1 January 2009 as a so-called private asset structure (PAS). Assets devoted to a specific purpose acquire an independent status and, in the PAS, their own legal personality. The PAS is thus a legal entity structured as a special purpose fund only to be used for ethical investments and donations. The establishment is a legally independent foundation permanently devoted to economical, educational and social purposes or to other stipulations, which is registered in the Public Register and has no character under public law. The Van Duyn Foundation assets (establishment capital, reserves and profit brought forward) are liable for the obligations.
