Save when you can and not when you have to.
John D. Rockefeller
I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.
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
If my name were John D Smith IV I wouldn't have been elected to anything.
