More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
In the television age, the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.
Richard M. Nixon
For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all of the people on this earth are truly one. One in their pride at what you have done, one in our prayers that you will return safely to earth.
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
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
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
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
I'm not going to be the first American president to lose a war.
Richard M. Nixon
Honesty may not be the best policy, but it is worth trying once in a while.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.
Richard M. Nixon
Don't try to take on a new personality it doesn't work.
Richard M. Nixon
Being trustworthy is something you are, something you stand for and a core value you live by. It isn't something you can train for nor is it something you can manipulate. You either have those values or you don't.
Richard M. Nixon
Idealism without realism is impotent. Realism without idealism is immoral.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.
Richard M. Nixon
Let me just say this, and I want to say this to the televison audience: I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service
Richard M. Nixon
The memory of that scene for me is like a frame of film forever frozen at that moment: the red carpet, the green lawn, the white house, the leaden sky. The new president and his first lady.
Richard M. Nixon
As this long and difficult war ends, I would like to address a few special words to the American people: Your steadfastness in supporting our insistence on peace with honor has made peace with honor possible.
Richard M. Nixon
Maybe New York shouldn't survive. Maybe it should go through a cycle of destruction.
Richard M. Nixon
You can't depend on the man who made the mess to clean it up.
Richard M. Nixon
