More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.

Richard M. Nixon
I'm not for women, frankly, in any job. I don't want any of them around. Thank God we don't have any in the Cabinet.
Richard M. Nixon
Listen, I don't know anything about polygraphs and I don't know how accurate they are, but I know they'll scare the hell out of people.
Richard M. Nixon
It is not enough just to be for peace. The point is, what can we do about it?
Richard M. Nixon
The Jewish cabal is out to get me.
Richard M. Nixon
A politician knows that his friends are not always his allies, and that his adversaries are not always his enemies.
Richard M. Nixon
The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker.
Richard M. Nixon
In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Richard M. Nixon
The man of thought who will not act is ineffective the man of action who will not think is dangerous.
Richard M. Nixon
The three most difficult words to speak are, I was wrong.
Richard M. Nixon
Since I have never one a debate let me tell you how not to lose one.
Richard M. Nixon
If we take the route of the permanent handout, the American character will itself be impoverished.
Richard M. Nixon
The language of politics is poetry, not prose. Jackson is poetry. Cuomo is poetry. Dukakis is a word processor.
