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.

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.

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.

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.

Each moment is just that... a moment. Whether good or bad it will pass to the next. Forward to the next and create a wonderful life.

You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.

If you are wise live as you can if you cannot live as you would.

We live in an age that's repeating itself endlessly. We're getting closer again to the techno-chic world we saw in Atlantis that occurs in countless planes. It's indigenous to enlightenment.

And to kill time while awaiting death, I smoke slender cigarettes thumbing my nose to the gods.

The main fuel to speed the world's progress is our stock of knowledge, and the brake is our lack of imagination.

What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.

I have learned that if you fear God, you have no one else to fear.

I am the American Dream. I am the epitome of what the American Dream basically said. It said you could come from anywhere and be anything you want in this country. That's exactly what I've done.
