Famous Quotes on Events and Issues:
Ida Tarbell, journalist and
pioneer in investigative journalism and author of The History of the
Standard Oil Company on Rockefeller’s business tactics: "Very often people
who admit the facts, who are willing to see that Mr. Rockefeller has employed
force and fraud to secure his ends, justify him by declaring, ‘It’s business.’
That is, ‘it’s business’ has to come to be a legitimate excuse for hard
dealing, sly tricks, special privileges. It is a common enough thing to hear
men arguing that the ordinary laws of morality do not apply in business.”
