„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. 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. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.“
John D. Rockefeller was an American industrialist and philanthropist, known as the founder of Standard Oil and one of the wealthiest individuals in history.
This quote shows how pride in global influence and integration can be an expression of conviction despite criticism.
