John D. Rockefeller
I have nothing else to say other than I wasn't corrupt, unfair, or greedy. I was smart when it came to making decisions for my company, and I wasn't greedy. I gave to others in charity and donated money to fund programs. I have nothing else to say.
John D. Rockefeller
God gave me my money.
John D. Rockefeller

John D. Rockefeller
