John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
To think! All that power and he wasn't even rich!
John D. Rockefeller
Never was I power thirsty, or trying to control everyone. I believed in educating everyone, so they could all get to the position I was at.
John D. Rockefeller
Giving is the secret to a healthy life. Not necessarily money, but whatever a person has to give of encouragement, sympathy, and understanding.
John D. Rockefeller
I was early taught to work as well as play. My life has been one long, happy holiday Full of work and full of play- I dropped the worry on the way- And God was good to me everyday.
John D. Rockefeller
