More quotes by 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
Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.
John D. Rockefeller
I have no use for men who fail. The cause of their failure is no business of mine, but I want successful men as my associates.
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
Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
The task is simple. We will organize children and teach them in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.
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
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
Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.
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
Oh, how blessed young men are who have to struggle for a foundation and beginning in life.
John D. Rockefeller
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
John D. Rockefeller
I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.
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
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
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
