More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Since I have never one a debate let me tell you how not to lose one.
Richard M. Nixon
My own view is that taping of conversations for historical purposes was a bad decision on the part of all the presidents. I don't think Kennedy should have done it. I don't think Johnson should have done it, and I don't think we should have done it.
Richard M. Nixon
Solutions are not the answer.
Richard M. Nixon
The ultimate test of a nation's character is not how it responds to adversity in war but how it meets the challenge of peace.
Richard M. Nixon
The recent upsurge of public concern over environmental questions reflects a belated recognition that man has been too cavalier in his relations with nature. Unless we arrest the depredations that have been inflicted so carelessly on our natural systems-which exist in an intricate set of balances-we face the prospect of ecological disaster.
Richard M. Nixon
If I were to make public these tapes, containing blunt and candid remarks on many different subjects, the confidentiality of the office of the president would always be suspect.
Richard M. Nixon
Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth.
Richard M. Nixon
Black Americans, no more than white Americans, they do not want more government programs which perpetuate dependency. They don't want to be a colony in a nation.
Richard M. Nixon
The color of communism was not red but gray.
Richard M. Nixon
It's a piece of cake until you get to the top. You find you can't stop playing the game the way you've always played it.
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
Lyndon Johnson rose above the doubt and fear to hold this Nation on course until we rediscovered our faith in ourselves.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.
Richard M. Nixon
Yet we can maintain a free society only if we recognize that in a free society no one can win all the time. No one can have his own way all the time, and no one is right all the time.
Richard M. Nixon
My gravest secret is that I really did fake the moon landing. On Venus!
Richard M. Nixon
Being trustworthy is something you are, something you stand for and a core value you live by. It isn't something you can train for nor is it something you can manipulate. You either have those values or you don't.
Richard M. Nixon
Peace is the real and right memorial for those who have died in war.
Richard M. Nixon
I'm not going to be the first American president to lose a war.
Richard M. Nixon
I often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.
Richard M. Nixon
Never forget, the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it.
Richard M. Nixon
