John D. Rockefeller — "I have always believed that the best way to live is to serve others."

"I would rather earn 1% off of 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts."

"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."

"I knew that God had given me money, and I believe the power to make money is a gift from God. I have been blessed with this gift, and I have tried to use it to the best of my ability."

"I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living, and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs."

"Success comes from keeping the ears open and the mouth closed."
