John D. Rockefeller
I was early taught to work as well as play. My life has been one long, happy holiday Full of work and full of play- I dropped the worry on the way- And God was good to me everyday.
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
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
Don't blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.
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
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
Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon.
