Concerning my critics:

I am accused of making a fortune from Dianetics and Scientology. Yet over $13,000,000 of unpaid royalties and monies owed to me I forgave and let be spent on helping man.

I am supposed to have had a notorious marital history yet I have a devoted wife and four darling children and have one of the happiest of long-run marriages.

I am supposed to have engaged in physical healing yet forbade very early the use of Scientology for that. I have been very careful to leave the medical doctor his rightful sphere of healing.

And so it goes. The pluses are minuses.

In at least three countries where the government has violently attacked Scientology, each has finally said, "We can find no laws these people have broken." And they have produced no evidence of crimes. And so the tide eventually turned.

If one leads an innocent life, helps his fellows and in general tries to be decent, he isn’t likely to be shot down successfully.

The lies of accusation turn out to be lies. The truth of what one is really trying to do turns out to be the truth and is recognized.

The main danger in standing up to attacks is that you may begin to doubt yourself and your own motives.

But if your intentions are good and you know they are, why feel guilty?

The fight isn’t over. But the important points are won. I have endured. Scientologists have endured. The books sell more than ever before. And public opinion has turned in our favor.

When you can really do what you say you can do, when the truth you write turns out to be truth, anyone can see that the opponent, whoever he is, is vanquished even though he still tries to fight.

Scientology improves the abilities of a person to communicate, to solve problems, to live peaceably and with his follows, amongst other things. It demonstrates that man is immortal and not an animal.

The aim of Scientology is a new era of love instead of hate and a reign of sanity instead of chaos.

How these hopes would upset anyone is a mystery, but they do.

Possibly the fight is about money. It is true that Scientology is getting all the business.

Possibly it stems from jealousy, for it isn’t everyone who writes a book that stands the world on its ear as Dianetics seems to have done.

But be sure it is a fight of the bitter old resisting the ambitious new.

There are few strong new forces in the world today. Man’s civilization is tired, fed up with war, poverty and crime.

Perhaps it is natural that anyone who offered help would also be fought at first. Man is so used to fighting, so used to being fooled.

Scientology has taken the first ramparts. Scientologists have generated their own organizations. Three years ago Scientologists became their own leaders and I retired as an officer of organizations.

It has been a very hard fight, it has been hard work, it has taken a long time.

Today, I can relax, occupying no more important a role than captain of my yacht, and look over the past with a calm eye and gaze upon the future with confidence.

I set out to try to help my fellow man and to do what little I could to make the world a better place. Men have said bitter things about me. Still I did my job.

The future will tell more than I could about the value of my work.

I leave Scientology with confidence in the hands of decent men.
