Let historians not record that when America was the most powerful nation in the world we passed on the other side of the road and allowed the last hopes for peace and freedom of millions of people to be suffocated by the forces of totalitarianism. And so tonightto you, the great silent majority of my fellow AmericansI ask for your support.

Richard M. Nixon
Peace is the real and right memorial for those who have died in war.
Richard M. Nixon
Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.
Richard M. Nixon
Baseball without fans is like Jayne Mansfield without a sweater. Hang on, that can be taken two ways.
Richard M. Nixon
It is essential that we take steps to prevent chemical substances from becoming environmental hazards. Unless we develop better methods to assure adequate testing of chemicals, we will be inviting the environmental crisis of the future.
Richard M. Nixon
The Jews are irreligious, atheistic, immoral bunch of bastards.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
If some of my judgments were wrong - and some were wrong - they were made in what I believed at the time to be the best interest of the nation.
Richard M. Nixon
As you know, the separation of church and state is not subject to discussion or alteration. Under our Constitution no church or religion can be supported by the U.S. Government. We maintain freedom of religion so that an American can either worship in the church of his choice or choose to go to no church at all.
Richard M. Nixon
Your mind must always go, even while you're shaking hands and going through all the maneuvers. I developed the ability long ago to do one thing while thinking about another.
