John D. Rockefeller
The person with big talk and big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law that government is the servant of the people and not their master.
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
I have nothing else to say other than I wasn't corrupt, unfair, or greedy. I was smart when it came to making decisions for my company, and I wasn't greedy. I gave to others in charity and donated money to fund programs. I have nothing else to say.
John D. Rockefeller
I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.
John D. Rockefeller
Long ago I lost the joy in living. The only joy I have is in my giving.
John D. Rockefeller
Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.
John D. Rockefeller
I have no use for men who fail. The cause of their failure is no business of mine, but I want successful men as my associates.
John D. Rockefeller
