Джон Рокфеллер цитаты

Джон Дэ́висон Рокфе́ллер — американский предприниматель, филантроп, первый официальный долларовый миллиардер в истории человечества.

В 1870 году основал компанию Standard Oil и управлял ею до своего официального выхода на пенсию в 1897 году. Standard Oil была основана в штате Огайо как партнерство Джона Рокфеллера, его брата Уильяма Рокфеллера, Генри Флэглера, Джабеза Боствика, химика Сэмьюэла Эндрюса и одного неголосующего партнёра, Стефана Харкенса. Поскольку спрос на керосин и бензин резко вырос, богатство Рокфеллеров также возросло, и он стал самым богатым человеком в мире, в своё время, его состояние на момент смерти составляло 1,4 миллиарда долларов США или 1,54 % ВВП США. С учётом инфляции The New York Times оценивает его богатство около 305 млрд долл. в эквиваленте 2006 года, или 389 млрд долл. в эквиваленте 2018 года.

Рокфеллер был одним из филантропов США, основателем Фонда Рокфеллера, жертвовавшим большие суммы на медицинские исследования, образование, в частности, на борьбу с жёлтой лихорадкой. Он также основал Чикагский и Рокфеллеровский университет. Был верующим баптистом и жертвовал часть своих доходов на поддержку церковных заведений в течение всей жизни. Отмечался как трудолюбивый, целеустремлённый и набожный христианин, за что партнёры называли его «Дьяконом». Он всегда проповедовал здоровый образ жизни и полный отказ от алкоголя и табакокурения. Имел четырёх дочерей и одного сына, который и унаследовал в управление Фонд Рокфеллера. Wikipedia

Джон Рокфеллер: Цитаты на английском языке

“I believe the power to make money is a gift of God … to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind.”

Interview with William Hoster, quoted in God's Gold (1932) by John T. Flynn
Контексте: I believe the power to make money is a gift of 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 would rather hire a man with enthusiasm, than a man who knows everything.”

As quoted in Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life (2010) by Bryan Curtis, p. 75

“I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.

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.

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.

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.

I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.

I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond, that character—not wealth or power or position—is of supreme worth.

I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individual's highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will.

I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.”

“I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance.”

As quoted in How They Succeeded (1901) by Orison Swett Marden
Контексте: I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.

“Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.”

As quoted in The Forbes Book of Business Quotations (2007) edited by Ted Goodman, p. 175

“Try to turn every disaster into an opportunity.”

Attributed in The Rockefellers (1976) by Peter Collier and David Horowitz

“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.”

TIME Magazine (21. May 1928) http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,731797,00.html

“The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit — a reputation, character.”

The Men Who Are Making America (1918) by Bertie Charles Forbes

“The day of combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return.”

“If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.”

“The only question with wealth is, what do you do with it?”

Though attributed to John D. Rockefeller, Sr. in I Want to Make Money in the Stock Market : Learn to Begin Investing Without Losing Your Life Savings (2006) by Chris M. Hart, p. 169; this is clearly a statement of his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as quoted in John D. Rockefeller, Jr: A Portrait (1956) by Raymond Blaine Fosdick, p. 189: The only question with wealth is what to do with it. It can be used for evil purposes or it can be an instrumentality for constructive social living.

“Good management consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.”

As quoted in The Harper Book of Quotations (1993) by Robert I. Fitzhenry, p. 71; the earliest published occurrence of such remarks yet located were those of Jim Low in "The Human in Public Relations" a diner address in Proceedings, Seventh Annual Meeting of the Agricultural Research Institute, October 13-14, 1958, Washington, Pt. 3, p. 83

“I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.”

Attributed by Jim Marrs in the William Lewis film One Nation Under Siege (2008); no published occurrence of this has been located prior to The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy : How the New World Order, Man-Made Diseases, and Zombie Banks Are Destroying America (2010) by Jim Marrs

“I have ways of making money that you know nothing of.”

As quoted by Isaac Hewitt (1879) in testimony to the New York Assembly. Rockefeller doubted that he said this, according to John D. : The Founding Father of the Rockefellers (1980) by David Freeman Hawke; this is reminiscent of the remark attributed to Jesus in John 4:32: "I have meat to eat that ye know not of." (KJV)/"I have food to eat that you know nothing about." (NIV)
