More quotes by 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

John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
Save when you can and not when you have to.
John D. Rockefeller
A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
John D. Rockefeller
Long ago I lost the joy in living. The only joy I have is in my giving.
John D. Rockefeller
The success of each is dependent upon the success of the other.
John D. Rockefeller
Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.
John D. Rockefeller
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
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
