More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Peace is the real and right memorial for those who have died in war.
Richard M. Nixon
My own view is that taping of conversations for historical purposes was a bad decision on the part of all the presidents. I don't think Kennedy should have done it. I don't think Johnson should have done it, and I don't think we should have done it.
Richard M. Nixon
It is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody.
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
I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.
Richard M. Nixon
Well, I screwed it up real good, didn't I?
Richard M. Nixon
I don't think a woman should be in any government job whatever. I mean, I really don't. The reason why I do is mainly because they are erratic and emotional.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.
Richard M. Nixon
As far as I am concerned now, I have no enemies in the press whatsoever.
Richard M. Nixon
For among nations - as within nations - the soundest unity is that which respects diversity, and the strongest cohesion is that which rejects coercion.
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
Idealism without pragmatism is impotent. Pragmatism without idealism is meaningless. The key to effective leadership is pragmatic idealism.
Richard M. Nixon
Once you get into this great stream of history you can't get out. You can drown. Or you can be pulled ashore by the tide. But it is awfully hard to get out when you are in the middle of the stream -- if it is intended that you stay there.
Richard M. Nixon
With those who are willing to join, let us cooperate to reduce the burden of arms, to strengthen the structure of peace, to lift up the poor and the hungry.
Richard M. Nixon
I have impeached myself by resigning.
Richard M. Nixon
It is not enough just to be for peace. The point is, what can we do about it?
Richard M. Nixon
Under the doctrine of separation of powers, the manner in which the president personally exercises his assigned executive powers is not subject to questioning by another branch of government.
Richard M. Nixon
I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.
Richard M. Nixon
So you are lean and mean and resourceful and you continue to walk on the edge of the precipice because over the years you have become fascinated by how close you can walk without losing your balance.
Richard M. Nixon
The Jews are irreligious, atheistic, immoral bunch of bastards.
Richard M. Nixon
