    I Believe

    For: John D. Rochefeller

     

    I Believe

    In the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

     

    I Believe

    That every right implies a responsibility every opportunity an obligation every possession aduty.

     

    I Believe

    That the law was made for man and not man for the law, that governments is the servant of the people and not their master.

     

    I Believe

    In the dignity of labor wheater with head or hand that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

     

    I Believe

    That thrift is essential to well ordered living and that economics is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure whether in government business or personal affairs.

     

    I Believe

    That the truth and justice are fundamental to a enduring social order.

     

    I Believe

    In the sacredness of a promise that a mans word should be as good as his bond that character – not wealth or power or position- is of supreme worth.

     

    I Believe

    That the rendering of useful service is the common duty  of mankind and that only us the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

     

     I Believe

    In  allwise  and all loving god.  Named by whatever name and that the individuals wiguest fulfillment greatest happiness. And widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will.

     

    I Believe

    That love is the greatest thing in the world that it alone can overcame hate. That right can and will triumph over might.
