Richard M. Nixon
I took a look around the office. ... I walked out and closed the door behind me. I knew that I would not be back there again. (On leaving the Executive Office Building)
Richard M. Nixon
Those who hate us only win if we hate them back
Richard M. Nixon
The Jews are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality.
Richard M. Nixon
Any lady who is first lady likes being first lady. I don't care what they say, they like it.
Richard M. Nixon
It's a piece of cake until you get to the top. You find you can't stop playing the game the way you've always played it.
