John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
When work goes out of style we may expect to see civilization totter and fall.

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

John D. Rockefeller
I think it is a man's duty to make all the money he can, keep all that he can and give away all that he can.
John D. Rockefeller
A friendship built on business can be glorious, while a business built on friendship can be murder.
John D. Rockefeller
