John D. Rockefeller was an American oil billionaire and philanthropist, here are some of his ideas:

• I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity
• Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it
• I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living
• Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people
• I have ways of making money that you know nothing of
• Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great
• I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts
• If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success
