I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.”

Things might not look divine, nor that if nothing
Was divine then all things were, the world itself,
And that if nothing was the truth, then all
Things were the truth, the world itself was the truth.”
