What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.

More quotes by 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
Any culture which can put a man on the Moon is capable of gathering all the nations of the earth in peace, justice and concord.
Richard M. Nixon
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Richard M. Nixon
I have earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life I have never obstructed justice.
Richard M. Nixon
The student who invades an administration building, roughs up a dean, rifles the files and issues 'non-negotiable demands' may have some of his demands met by a permissive university administration. But the greater his 'victory' the more he will have undermined the security of his own rights.
Richard M. Nixon
I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.
Richard M. Nixon
I would rather be a one-term President and do what I believe is right than to be a two-term President at the cost of seeing America become a second-race power and to see this Nation accept the first defeat in its proud 190-year history.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.
Richard M. Nixon
With all our differences, whenever we are confronted with a threat to our security we are not then Republicans or Democrats but Americans we are not then the fifty states but the United States.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't give a damn about the civilians.
Richard M. Nixon
The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.
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
The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Richard M. Nixon
There will be no whitewash in the White House.
Richard M. Nixon
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
Richard M. Nixon
Bring us together again.
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
I've never left a game before it ended. You never know when there could be a big turnaround in the game.
Richard M. Nixon
If in order to avoid further Communist expansion in Asia and particularly in Indo-China, if in order to avoid it we must take the risk by putting American boys in, I believe that the executive branch of the government has to take the politically unpopular position of facing up to it and doing it, and I personally would support such a decision.
Richard M. Nixon
The three most difficult words to speak are, I was wrong.
Richard M. Nixon
