More quotes by John D. Rockefeller
The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.
John D. Rockefeller
I never said that I wanted to be the only company, is it my fault that I ran my company well? Wouldn't you want the best for your company? Also consider that I started of small.
John D. Rockefeller
I have no use for men who fail. The cause of their failure is no business of mine, but I want successful men as my associates.
John D. Rockefeller
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
John D. Rockefeller
To think! All that power and he wasn't even rich!
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
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
Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon.
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
Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.
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
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
Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.
John D. Rockefeller
Do not many of us who fail to achieve big things. . .fail because we lack concentration--the art of concentrating the mind on the thing to be done at the proper time and to the exclusion of everything else?
John D. Rockefeller
The major fortunes in America have been made in land.
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
Be sure that you are not deceiving yourself at any time about actual conditions.
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
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
John D. Rockefeller
If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.
John D. Rockefeller
