Richard M. Nixon
The bastards have never been bombed like they're going to be bombed this time.
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
Idealism without pragmatism is impotent. Pragmatism without idealism is meaningless. The key to effective leadership is pragmatic idealism.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.
Richard M. Nixon
You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.
