"Well, so far the oil mogul is portrayed by Ron Chernow as an aggressive market competitor, willing to do anything necessary to maintain, nay accrue profit. one recurrent theme the author keep emphasising is Rockefellers continual denial of the things he is been accused of even in the face of convincing evidences that proves his upper-handed, Machiavellian and ethical practices." — Aug 31, 2024 09:33AM

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword”
― The Ballad of Reading Gaol

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
