John D. Rockefeller
I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
The American Beauty Rose can be produced in the splendor and fragrance which bring cheer to its beholder only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it. This is not an evil tendency in business. It is merely the working-out of a law of nature and a law of God.
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
To think! All that power and he wasn't even rich!
John D. Rockefeller
