Richard M. Nixon
Any nation that decides the only way to achieve peace is through peaceful means is a nation that will soon be a piece of another nation.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.
Richard M. Nixon
There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white.
Richard M. Nixon
Under the doctrine of separation of powers, the manner in which the president personally exercises his assigned executive powers is not subject to questioning by another branch of government.
Richard M. Nixon
If some of my judgments were wrong - and some were wrong - they were made in what I believed at the time to be the best interest of the nation.
Richard M. Nixon
A riot is a spontaneous outburst. A war is subject to advance planning.
Richard M. Nixon
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.
Richard M. Nixon
Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.
Richard M. Nixon
There are some instances where you may be ahead of us, for example, in the development of the thrust of your rockets for the investigation of outer space there may be some instances in which we are ahead of you--in color television, for instance.
Richard M. Nixon
