More From John D. Rockefeller

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

The value of a dollar is to buy just things; a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. a dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail; in a temperate, schooled, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime, where dice, knives, and arsenic are in constant play.

Back in 1960, the paper dollar and the silver dollar both were the same value. they circulated next to each other. today? the paper dollar has lost 95% of its value, while the silver dollar is worth $34, and produced a 2-3 times rise in real value. since we left the gold standard in 1971, both gold and silver have become superior inflation hedges.
Real Gold Dollars
For after all, what is there behind, except money? money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to italy. money writes books, money sells them. give me not righteousness, o lord, give me money, only money.
Book Writing Giving
When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. when a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. when a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. and when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. and that's government for you.

Similar Quotes
I love to read the dedications of old books written in monarchies for they invariably honor some (usually insignificant) knight or duke with fulsome words of sycophantic insincerity, praising him as the light of the universe (in hopes, no doubt, for a few ducats to support future work); this old practice makes me feel like such an honest and upright man, by comparison, when i put a positive spin, perhaps ever so slightly exaggerated, on a grant proposal.

Federer said something interesting once. he said that he was watching rod laver, and me, and he said he was trying to copy us and to be like us. and that’s a great compliment for us.

We must, therefore, emphasize that 'we' are not the government; the government is not 'us.' the government does not in any accurate sense 'represent' the majority of the people. but, even if it did, even if 70 percent of the people decided to murder the remaining 30 percent, this would still be murder and would not be voluntary suicide on the part of the slaughtered minority. no organicist metaphor, no irrelevant bromide that 'we are all part of one another,' must be permitted to obscure this basic fact.

O happy, happy each man whom predestined fate leads to the holy rite of hill and mountain worship.
