More quotes by John D. Rockefeller
The secret of success is to get up early, work late and strike oil.
John D. Rockefeller
I was born into it and there was nothing I could do about it. It was there, like air or food, or any other element. The only question with wealth is what you do with it.
John D. Rockefeller
I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers
John D. Rockefeller
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
John D. Rockefeller
Often-times the most difficult competition comes, not from the strong, the intelligent, the conservative competitor, but from the man who is holding on by the eyelids and is ignorant of his costs, and anyway he's got to keep running or bust!
John D. Rockefeller
A friendship built on business can be glorious, while a business built on friendship can be murder.
John D. Rockefeller
The person with big talk and big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law that government is the servant of the people and not their master.
John D. Rockefeller
If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.
John D. Rockefeller
You know that great prejudice exists against all successful business enterprise - the more successful, the greater the prejudice.
John D. Rockefeller
Be sure that you are not deceiving yourself at any time about actual conditions.
John D. Rockefeller
Save when you can and not when you have to.
John D. Rockefeller
Never think you need to apologize for asking someone to give to a worthy cause, any more than as though you were giving him or her an opportunity to participate in a high-grade investment. The duty of giving is as much his or hers as is the duty of asking yours.
John D. Rockefeller
Giving is the secret to a healthy life. Not necessarily money, but whatever a person has to give of encouragement, sympathy, and understanding.
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
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
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
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
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
The success of each is dependent upon the success of the other.
John D. Rockefeller
I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.
John D. Rockefeller
