When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's, but behind all of them, there's only one truth and that is that there is no truth... No truth behind all truths is what I and this church preach!

In yourself right now is all the place you've got.
