John D. Rockefeller
A man's wealth must be determined by the relation of his desires and expenditures to his income. If he feels rich on ten dollars, and has everything else he desires, he really is rich.
John D. Rockefeller
God gave me my money.
John D. Rockefeller
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
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
I believe it is a religious duty to get all the money you can, fairly and honestly to keep all you can, and to give away all you can.
John D. Rockefeller
I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.
John D. Rockefeller
Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon.
John D. Rockefeller
