Success In Business Requires Training And Discipline

I Met Many Russians Over The Years Who Were Convinced My Brothers And I Were A Cabal, Pulling Strings Behind The Scenes To Shape American Policy. The Soviets Had No Conception Of How A Pluralistic Democracy Works And Believed Elected Officials, Up To And Including The President Of The United States, Were Only Figureheads Acting Out The Roles Dictated To Them By The Real "powers That Be" - In This Case, My Family.

Some Even Believe We (the Rockefeller Family) Are Part Of A Secret Cabal Working Against The Best Interests Of The United States, Characterizing My Family And Me As 'internationalists' And Of Conspiring With Others Around The World To Build A More Integrated Global Political And Economic Structure - One World, If You Will. If That's The Charge, I Stand Guilty, And I Am Proud Of It.

If Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention, Discontent Is The Father Of Progress.

My Congratulations On The Occasion Of The 60th Anniversary Of The October Revolution.

We Are Grateful To The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine And Other Great Publications Whose Directors Have Attended Our Meetings And Respected Their Promises Of Discretion For Almost 40 Years......it Would Have Been Impossible For Us To Develop Our Plan For The World If We Had Been Subjected To The Lights Of Publicity During Those Years. But, The World Is More Sophisticated And Prepared To March Towards A World Government. The Supernational Sovereignty Of An Intellectual Elite And World Bankers Is Surely Preferable To The National Autodetermination Practiced In Past Centuries.
