A building or a town will only be alive to the extent that it is governed in a timeless way. It is a process which brings order out of nothing but ourselves; it cannot be attained, but it will happen of its own accord, if we will only let it.
Even if I would have left on a good note, there is still going to be people who don't like you, who don't like what you stand for. I can't worry about that.
At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.
