I'm glad I wrote the book to show what I found out about the [ Standard Oil Company]. I'm glad many people read my book and found out the truth.

When Prohibition was introduced, I hoped that it would be widely supported by public opinion and the day would soon come when the evil effects of alcohol would be recognised. I have slowly and reluctantly come to believe that this has not been the result. Instead, drinking has generally increased; the speakeasy has replaced the saloon; a vast army of lawbreakers has appeared; many of our best citizens have openly ignored Prohibition; respect for the law has been greatly lessened; and crime has increased to a level never seen before.

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.

A man has no right to occupy another man’s time unnecessarily

I never placed my head upon the pillow at night without reminding myself that my success might only be temporary.

That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity?I care about others as well.

I think it is a man's duty to make all the money he can, keep all that he can and give away all that he can.
