John D. Rockefeller
Taxation has its limitations as a method of achieving better economic distribution since for this purpose it is essentially remedial. We must also take a positive approach by finding new ways to spread ownership of future capital growth more broadly in our society.
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit... a reputation, character.
John D. Rockefeller
I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.
John D. Rockefeller
God gave me my money.
John D. Rockefeller
I never said that I wanted to be the only company, is it my fault that I ran my company well? Wouldn't you want the best for your company? Also consider that I started of small.
John D. Rockefeller
When work goes out of style we may expect to see civilization totter and fall.
John D. Rockefeller
I was born into it and there was nothing I could do about it. It was there, like air or food, or any other element. The only question with wealth is what you do with it.
John D. Rockefeller
