John D. Rockefeller
Save when you can and not when you have to.

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
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
