To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.”
“I think of art as the highest level of creativity. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.” “Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. “Successful charitable fund-raising has much in common with managing a business: It requires leadership, persistence, and creativity.” “I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.” But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.” “Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” “This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. “We are on the verge of a global transformation. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.
“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. “Father was the eldest son and the heir apparent, and he set the standard for being a Rockefeller very high, so every achievement was taken for granted and perfection was the norm.” “I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.” If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” Populists rarely mention these positive consequences, nor can they cogently explain how they would have sustained American economic growth and expansion of our political power without them.“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. Not only was the very real threat posed by Soviet Communism overcome, but there have been fundamental improvements in societies around the world, particularly in the United States, as a result of global trade, improved communications, and the heightened interaction of people from different cultures. Populists and isolationists ignore the tangible benefits that have resulted in our active international role during the past half-century. Because of my name and prominence as head of the Chase for many years, I have earned the distinction of "conspirator in chief" from some of these people. "Populists" believe in conspiracies and one of the most enduring is that a secret group of international bankers and capitalists, and their minions, control the world's economy.
The anti-Rockefeller focus of these otherwise incompatible political positions owes much to Populism. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. Some even believe we 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. For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions.
