Richard M. Nixon
Look, people get drunk ... People chase girls. And the point is, it's a hell of a lot better for them to get drunk than to take drugs. It's better to chase girls than boys.
Richard M. Nixon
Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.

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
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Richard M. Nixon
We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.
Richard M. Nixon
Peace is a great goal, but it is not a panacea. Neither is material wealth.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.
Richard M. Nixon
Peace demands more, not less, from a people. Peace lacks the clarity of purpose and the cadence of war. War is scripted: peace is improvisation.
Richard M. Nixon
I never leave a game before the last pitch, because in baseball, as in life and especially politics, you never know what will happen.
Richard M. Nixon
