John D. Rockefeller Thinking Quotations

I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.

To think! All that power and he wasn't even rich!

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.

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.

Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.

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.
