John D. Rockefeller

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
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
The American Beauty Rose can be produced in the splendor and fragrance which bring cheer to its beholder only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it. This is not an evil tendency in business. It is merely the working-out of a law of nature and a law of God.
John D. Rockefeller
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
John D. Rockefeller
That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity?I care about others as well.
John D. Rockefeller

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
