Richard M. Nixon
You can't depend on the man who made the mess to clean it up.
Richard M. Nixon
Success is not a harbor but a voyage with its own perils to the spirit ... The lesson that most of us on this voyage never learn, but can never quite forget, is that to win is sometimes to lose.
Richard M. Nixon
When I retire I'm going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.
Richard M. Nixon
We don't owe the blacks a damn thing, anyway.
Richard M. Nixon
I think Congress has spent enough time on ethics. I think it's time they moved on to something else.
Richard M. Nixon
A riot is a spontaneous outburst. A war is subject to advance planning.

Richard M. Nixon
