Richard M. Nixon
While might certainly does not make right, neither does right by itself make might.
Richard M. Nixon
When I am the candidate, I run the campaign.
Richard M. Nixon
I believe in building bridges, but we should only build our end of the bridge.
Richard M. Nixon
Success is not a harbor but a voyage with its own perils to the spirit ... The lesson that most of us on this voyage never learn, but can never quite forget, is that to win is sometimes to lose.
Richard M. Nixon
My gravest secret is that I really did fake the moon landing. On Venus!
Richard M. Nixon
