More quotes by John D. Rockefeller
To think! All that power and he wasn't even rich!
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
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
You know that great prejudice exists against all successful business enterprise - the more successful, the greater the prejudice.
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
John D. Rockefeller
I was trained from the beginning to work, to save. I have always regarded it a as a religious duty to get all I could honorably and to give all I could.
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
Giving is the secret to a healthy life. Not necessarily money, but whatever a person has to give of encouragement, sympathy, and understanding.
John D. Rockefeller
The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.
John D. Rockefeller
I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
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
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
