John D. Rockefeller
A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
John D. Rockefeller
That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity?I care about others as well.
John D. Rockefeller
This Sunday School has been of help to me, greater perhaps than any other force in my Christian life, and I can ask no better things for you than that you, and all that shall come after you in this great band of workers for Christ, shall receive the same measure of blessedness which I have been permitted to have.

John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
Well i know that my company is not corrupt or unfair because i got all this with all my hard work. I see no reason why you say my company was corrupt may you explain to me miss [Ida] Tarbell.
John D. Rockefeller
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
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
Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.
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
I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.
John D. Rockefeller
If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.
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
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
Save when you can and not when you have to.
John D. Rockefeller
