Compare this day with that. Our comforts and opportunities are multiplied a thousand fold. The resources of our great land are now actually opening up and are scarcely touched; our home markets are vast, and we have just begun to think of the foreign peoples we can serve--the people who are years behind us in civilization. In the East a quarter of the human race is just awakening. The men of this generation are entering into a heritage which makes their fathers' lives look poverty-stricken by comparison. I am naturally an optimist, and when it comes to a statement of what our people will accomplish in the future, I am unable to express myself with sufficient enthusiasm.

白话
把今天和过去对比,我们的舒适和机会增加了上千倍。我们伟大国家的资源才刚刚开始开发,几乎还没被触及;国内市场巨大,我们才刚刚开始考虑能服务的外国人民——那些文明落后我们多年的民族。在东方,四分之一的人类刚刚觉醒。这一代人继承的遗产,让父辈的生活相形之下显得贫困。洛克菲勒说自己天生乐观,当要描述我们的人民未来会取得什么成就时,他无法表达出足够的热情。这提醒我们,机会不是变少了,而是刚刚打开。
