John D. Rockefeller Quotations | Page 2

The success of each is dependent upon the success of the other.

Save when you can and not when you have to.

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.

Giving is the secret to a healthy life. Not necessarily money, but whatever a person has to give of encouragement, sympathy, and understanding.

Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon.

I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers

The man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't succeed, you must have a larger ambition.

I believe it is a religious duty to get all the money you can, fairly and honestly; to keep all you can, and to give away all you can.

Competition is a sin.

I never would have been able to tithe the first million dollars I ever made if I had not tithed my first salary, which was $1.50 per week.

Oh, how blessed young men are who have to struggle for a foundation and beginning in life.

Character - not wealth, power, or position - is the supreme word.

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.

God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from God . to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.

I was early taught to work as well as play. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play- I dropped the worry on the way- And God was good to me everyday.
