In the case of Enron, we balance our positions all the time.

The collapse of Enron and the subsequent collapse of Arthur Andersen were tremendous tragedies. But as I stated at the time of my indictment on July 8, 2004, failure does not equate to a crime.

I take responsibility for what happened at Enron, both good and bad. But I cannot take responsibility for criminal conduct that I was unaware of.

I mean, our primary businesses in wholesale pipelines, utilities, retail, were all doing extremely well.

But I can't take responsibility for criminal conduct of somebody inside the company.

I've not only pursued the American dream, I've achieved it. I suppose we could say the last few years, I've also achieved the American nightmare.

The Islamic method of waging war is not to kill innocent civilians, but it was Christians in World War II who bombed civilians in Dresden and Hiroshima, neither of which were military targets.

Some duties exist simply because we are part of a larger family or community.

The wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.

You've got to be in a determined state in order to succeed.
