"The impression was gaining ground with me..." - Quote by John D Rockefeller

“There is no feeling in this world to be compared with self-reliance--do not sacrifice that to anything else.”

“Be sure that you are not deceiving yourself at any time about actual conditions.”

“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.”

“When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off.”

“Gold is the most useless thing in the world. I am not interested in money but in the things of which money is merely a symbol.”

“My son did not show signs of a money deficiency until he opened his small fist in the nursery and found it was empty.”

“The people must be helped to think naturally about money. They must be told what it is, and what makes it money, and what are the possible tricks of the present system which put nations and peoples under control of the few.”

“The Only Power You Need to Be Free of Troublesome PeopleSince what other people do to you is not in your power to change, you need only concern yourself with what you do to yourself, for that is in your power”

“There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.”
