Speech: John D. Rockefeller Jr. Sets Forth His Family's Creed

The following radio speech was aired July 8, 1941; it is carved in granite at the entrance to the Rockefeller Center skating rink. Nelson Rockefeller referred to its last line while campaigning for governor of New York so often that a shorthand reporter took down "brotherhood of man, fatherhood of God" with the brief form "bomfog"; that acronym came to mean "pious political rhetoric." The creed itself has the elements of simplicity and timelessness that elevate it above the acronym.
