Richard M. Nixon
The recent upsurge of public concern over environmental questions reflects a belated recognition that man has been too cavalier in his relations with nature. Unless we arrest the depredations that have been inflicted so carelessly on our natural systems-which exist in an intricate set of balances-we face the prospect of ecological disaster.
Richard M. Nixon
You have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this all while not appearing to.
Richard M. Nixon
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Richard M. Nixon
Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.
Richard M. Nixon
Once one determines that he or she has a mission in life, that's it's not going to be accomplished without a great deal of pain, and that the rewards in the end may not outweigh the pain -if you recognize historically that always happens, then when it comes, you survive it.
Richard M. Nixon
The bastards have never been bombed like they're going to be bombed this time.
Richard M. Nixon
Peace is a great goal, but it is not a panacea. Neither is material wealth.
Richard M. Nixon
The ultimate test of a nation's character is not how it responds to adversity in war but how it meets the challenge of peace.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
Look, people get drunk ... People chase girls. And the point is, it's a hell of a lot better for them to get drunk than to take drugs. It's better to chase girls than boys.
Richard M. Nixon
