More quotes by Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
The Italians . . . you can't find one who is honest.

Richard M. Nixon
The environmental agenda before the Congress includes laws to deal with water pollution, pesticide hazards, ocean dumping, excessive noise, careless land development and many other environmental problems. These problems will not stand still for politics or for partisanship.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't give a damn about the civilians.
