More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Richard M. Nixon
The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.
Richard M. Nixon
The average American is just like the child in the family. You give him some responsibility and he is going to amount to something. He is going to do something. If, on the other hand, you make him completely dependent and pamper him and cater to him too much, you are going to make him soft, spoiled and eventually a very weak individual.
Richard M. Nixon
When I retire I'm going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.
Richard M. Nixon
Scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as much dignity as the Presidency.
Richard M. Nixon
I really believe life is simple. It's all the other people that make things complicated.
Richard M. Nixon
I would rather be a one-term President and do what I believe is right than to be a two-term President at the cost of seeing America become a second-race power and to see this Nation accept the first defeat in its proud 190-year history.
Richard M. Nixon
The environmental agenda before the Congress includes laws to deal with water pollution, pesticide hazards, ocean dumping, excessive noise, careless land development and many other environmental problems. These problems will not stand still for politics or for partisanship.
Richard M. Nixon
I've never left a game before it ended. You never know when there could be a big turnaround in the game.
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
In his heart everyone knows that the only people who get rich from the get rich quick books are those who write them.
Richard M. Nixon
Federal and state laws (should) be changed to no longer make it a crime to possess marijuana for private use.
Richard M. Nixon
I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say.
Richard M. Nixon
I never leave a game before the last pitch, because in baseball, as in life and especially politics, you never know what will happen.
Richard M. Nixon
I'll speak for the man, or against him, whichever will do him the most good.
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
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.
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
The time has come for us to draw the line. The time has come for the responsible leaders of both political parties to take a stand against overgrown Government and for the American taxpayer.
Richard M. Nixon
We are not spending the Federal Government's money, we are spending the taxpayer's money, and it must be spent n a way which guarantees his money's worth and yields the fullest possible benefit to the people being helped.
Richard M. Nixon
