More quotes by John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.

John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
Be sure that you are not deceiving yourself at any time about actual conditions.
John D. Rockefeller
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
John D. Rockefeller
Don't blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.
John D. Rockefeller
If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.
John D. Rockefeller
The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit... a reputation, character.
John D. Rockefeller
Save when you can and not when you have to.
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
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 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
We are coming to see that there should be no stifling of labor by capital, or of capital by labor and also that there should be no stifling of labor by labor, or of capital by capital.
John D. Rockefeller
