More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does.
Richard M. Nixon
You must never give up. You must remember that you have to take risks in order to achieve anything and sometimes you will suffer defeat. But the mark of any individual is to recover from defeat and disappointment and go on and give it his best shot.
Richard M. Nixon
Anybody who wants to be an ambassador, wants to pay at least $250,000.
Richard M. Nixon
Finishing second in the Olympics gets you silver. Finishing second in politics gets you oblivion.
Richard M. Nixon
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
Richard M. Nixon
Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.
Richard M. Nixon
Since I have never one a debate let me tell you how not to lose one.
Richard M. Nixon
I really believe life is simple. It's all the other people that make things complicated.
Richard M. Nixon
I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.
Richard M. Nixon
Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.
Richard M. Nixon
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Richard M. Nixon
The color of communism was not red but gray.
Richard M. Nixon
The student who invades an administration building, roughs up a dean, rifles the files and issues 'non-negotiable demands' may have some of his demands met by a permissive university administration. But the greater his 'victory' the more he will have undermined the security of his own rights.
Richard M. Nixon
Those few days after Kent State were among the darkest of my presidency.
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
...we must strike a balance so that the protection of our irreplaceable heritage becomes as important as its use. The price of economic growth need not and will not be deterioration in the quality of our lives and our surroundings.
Richard M. Nixon
They say it's the responsibility of the media to look at government - especially the President - with a microscope. I don't argue with that, but when they use a proctoscope, it's going too far.
Richard M. Nixon
When the President does it, that means that it's not illegal.
Richard M. Nixon
Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.
Richard M. Nixon
For among nations - as within nations - the soundest unity is that which respects diversity, and the strongest cohesion is that which rejects coercion.
Richard M. Nixon
