1:55:00
and about the responsibilities
any man has to his fellow men.
1:55:06
l've learned a lot about good
and evil. They're not always
what they appear to be.
1:55:14
l was involved,
1:55:17
deeply involved,
in a deception.
1:55:21
l have deceived my friends.
1:55:25
And l had millions of them.
1:55:35
l lied to
the American people.
1:55:39
l lied about what l knew, and then
l lied about what l did not know.
1:55:48
ln a sense, l was like a child
who refuses to admit a fact
in the hope that it'll go away.
1:55:54
Of course
it did not go away.
1:55:58
l was scared,
1:56:00
scared to death.
1:56:03
l had no solid position.
1:56:06
No basis to stand on
for myself.
1:56:09
There was one way out and that was...
simply to tell the truth.
1:56:19
lt may sound trite to you,
but l've found myself again
after a number of years.
1:56:25
l've been acting a role,
1:56:30
maybe all my life,
of thinking l've done more,
1:56:34
accomplished more,
produced more than l have.
1:56:39
l have had all the breaks.
1:56:45
l have stood on the shoulders
of life, and l've never gotten
down into the dirt to build,
1:56:50
to erect a foundation
of my own.
1:56:55
l have flown too high
on borrowed wings.
