Richard M. Nixon

The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Richard M. Nixon
Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
Richard M. Nixon
The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
Your mind must always go, even while you're shaking hands and going through all the maneuvers. I developed the ability long ago to do one thing while thinking about another.
Richard M. Nixon
