More quotes by John D. Rockefeller
I believe the power to make money is a gift of God.
John D. Rockefeller
The major fortunes in America have been made in land.
John D. Rockefeller
Often-times the most difficult competition comes, not from the strong, the intelligent, the conservative competitor, but from the man who is holding on by the eyelids and is ignorant of his costs, and anyway he's got to keep running or bust!
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
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
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
Never think you need to apologize for asking someone to give to a worthy cause, any more than as though you were giving him or her an opportunity to participate in a high-grade investment. The duty of giving is as much his or hers as is the duty of asking yours.
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
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
When a man has accumulated a sum of money, accumulated it within the law, the Government has no right to share in its earnings.
John D. Rockefeller
Oh, how blessed young men are who have to struggle for a foundation and beginning in life.
John D. Rockefeller
I should say in general the advantage of education is to better fit a man for life's work. I would advise young men to take a college course, as a rule, but think some are just as well off with a thorough business training.
John D. Rockefeller
Taxation has its limitations as a method of achieving better economic distribution since for this purpose it is essentially remedial. We must also take a positive approach by finding new ways to spread ownership of future capital growth more broadly in our society.
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
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
I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
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
A friendship built on business can be glorious, while a business built on friendship can be murder.
John D. Rockefeller
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
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
