More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
The successful leader does not talk down to people. He lifts them up.
Richard M. Nixon
You have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this all while not appearing to.
Richard M. Nixon
To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit. To find that answer, we need only look within ourselves. When we listen to the better angels of our nature, we find that they celebrate the simple things, the basic things--such as goodness, decency, love, kindness. Greatness comes in simple trappings.
Richard M. Nixon
The time has come for us to draw the line. The time has come for the responsible leaders of both political parties to take a stand against overgrown Government and for the American taxpayer.
Richard M. Nixon
Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.
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

Richard M. Nixon
Television in its present form...[is] the opiate of the people of the United States.
Richard M. Nixon
As you know, the separation of church and state is not subject to discussion or alteration. Under our Constitution no church or religion can be supported by the U.S. Government. We maintain freedom of religion so that an American can either worship in the church of his choice or choose to go to no church at all.
Richard M. Nixon
Nothing is more priceless and more worthy of preservation than the rich array of animal life with which our country has been blessed. It is a many-faceted treasure, of value to scholars, scientists, and nature lovers alike, and it forms a vital part of the heritage we all share as Americans.
Richard M. Nixon
Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
Richard M. Nixon
Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Richard M. Nixon
Honesty may not be the best policy, but it is worth trying once in a while.
Richard M. Nixon
...we must strike a balance so that the protection of our irreplaceable heritage becomes as important as its use. The price of economic growth need not and will not be deterioration in the quality of our lives and our surroundings.
Richard M. Nixon
I really believe life is simple. It's all the other people that make things complicated.
Richard M. Nixon
Those who hate us only win if we hate them back
Richard M. Nixon
Bring us together again.
Richard M. Nixon
Yes, I wish I'd done it sooner.
Richard M. Nixon
Castro couldn't even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.
