John D. Rockefeller
I never would have been able to tithe the first million dollars I ever made if I had not tithed my first salary, which was $1.50 per week.
John D. Rockefeller
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
John D. Rockefeller
