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.

God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from 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 raised my prices since there wasn't any competition it was just the smart thing to do. Why would I keep my prices up if their wasn't anyone to beat?

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.

I believe the power to make money is a gift of God.

The man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't succeed, you must have a larger ambition.

How much money does it take to make a man happy? Just one more dollar.
