ONE MAN'S CREED
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., spent most of —
his time giving away vast amounts of
money to support historic restorations,
conservation projects, foundations and
institutions. In 19tl, when he was 67
he explained the creed by which he had
lived in an address at Fist University.
This creed was inscribed in marble and
installed in Rockefeller Center, Now
York, City, last year. This creed given
here is deserving out attention., ..
"I believe in the supreme worth of; the
individual and in his right to life,
liberty and the pursuit to happiness,"
"I believe that every right inplies a
responsibility! every opportunity, an
obligation! every possession a duty"
"I believe that the law was made for man
and not man for the law! that government
is the servant of the people and not
their master"
"I believe in the dignity of labor,
(continued in next colum)
wnetner witn neaa or nana; mat tne
world owes no man a living be that it
owes every man an opportunity to make
a living."
"I believe that thrift is essential to
well ordered living and that economy is
a prime requisite of a sound financial
structure, whether in government, busi
ness, or personal affairs."
"I believe in the sacredness of a promis
that a man's 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 i'nly in the purifying fire of
sacrifice is the dross of selfishnes^^
consumed and the greatness of the hflPi
soul set free."
"I believe in the all-wise and all-loving
God, named by whatever name, and that the
individuals highest fulfillment, great
est 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
overcome hate; that right can and will
triumph over might*.1.'.__•...
