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.

But indeed a market like California is not good for Enron.

But the most important thing is, Enron did not cause the California crisis.

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

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.

Aggressive accounting does not mean illegal accounting.

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 last thing I would have ever expected to happen to me in my life would be that, in fact, I would be accused of doing something wrong and maybe even something criminal.

I don't fear jail because I know I'm not guilty. I know I did nothing wrong. I did nothing criminal and I also believe my God will get me through this.

Life is all about being in the labyrinth just to seek happiness but the only way to escape it is to stop and wait what's next in this line

Progress however slow is still progress, but be it for the better if sped up quicker.

The lovesick, the betrayed, and the jealous all smell alike.

Faith to me is having absolute certainty that God is in control of my life and that He has my best interests at heart.

To think to be wise alone is a very great folly.

The beginning of the way to heaven, is to feel that we are on the way to hell.

Help only comes to those who ask for it.

The phrase 'I can't' doesn't mean anything to me anymore, not because of my ego but because I know anything is possible.

I am opposed, naturally, to regurgitating anecdote or any other form of received wisdom, unless it is characterized as such.

As her father had so often said... Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.
