John D. Rockefeller
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
John D. Rockefeller
A man's wealth must be determined by the relation of his desires and expenditures to his income. If he feels rich on ten dollars, and has everything else he desires, he really is rich.
John D. Rockefeller
A friendship built on business can be glorious, while a business built on friendship can be murder.
John D. Rockefeller

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
