Quotes by Paula Uruburu (?)

“God gave me my money. . . . God has marked the American people as His chosen nation to finally lead in the regeneration of the world. This is the divine mission of America and all it holds for all the profit, all the glory, all the happiness possible to man. —John D. Rockefeller, 1900”
