I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man's virtues the means of deceiving him.

No man was ever great by imitation.

I've got the greatest job in the world. There's no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people's lives. It's a great challenge.

The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.

It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.
