Long ago I lost the joy in living. The only joy I have is in my giving.
John D. Rockefeller
A friendship built on business can be glorious, while a business built on friendship can be murder.
John D. Rockefeller
I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money's sake.
John D. Rockefeller
The day of combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return.
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

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
Probably the greatest single obstacle to the progress and happiness of the American people lies in the willingness of so many men to invest their time and money in multiplying competitive industries instead of opening up new fields, and putting their money into lines of industry and development that are needed.
John D. Rockefeller
And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.
John D. Rockefeller
I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.
John D. Rockefeller
The best business in the world is a well run oil company. The second best business in the world is a badly run oil company.
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
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
Oh, how blessed young men are who have to struggle for a foundation and beginning in life.
John D. Rockefeller
Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.
John D. Rockefeller
