Who said this quote about managing your finances?

A famous speaker said something like this about managing your finances:

Give 10%, save 10% and live from the rest.

Does anyone know who said it and what is the entire quote (exact words?)?

Update:

A hint about the speaker I meant: I think he was a preacher or some missionary...

I better ask this in the religion section :)

    John D. Rockefeller

    He originated the idea. He required his kids to do this when he was giving them their weekly allowances. Somebody may have used his idea in their speech.
