John D. Rockefeller
I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.
John D. Rockefeller

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
Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon.
John D. Rockefeller
When a man has accumulated a sum of money, accumulated it within the law, the Government has no right to share in its earnings.
John D. Rockefeller
A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
John D. Rockefeller
I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers
John D. Rockefeller
The man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't succeed, you must have a larger ambition.
John D. Rockefeller
Never was I power thirsty, or trying to control everyone. I believed in educating everyone, so they could all get to the position I was at.
John D. Rockefeller
The major fortunes in America have been made in land.
John D. Rockefeller
