Richard M. Nixon
You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.
Richard M. Nixon
...because there are no local or State boundaries to the problems of our environment, the Federal Government must play an active, positive role. We can and will set standards. We can and will exercise leadership.
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
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
By taking this action, I hope that I will have hastened the start of the healing.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
Any culture which can put a man on the Moon is capable of gathering all the nations of the earth in peace, justice and concord.
Richard M. Nixon
It is not enough just to be for peace. The point is, what can we do about it?
Richard M. Nixon
I seriously doubt if we will ever have another war. This is probably the very last one.
Richard M. Nixon
In the television age, the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.
Richard M. Nixon
Well, I screwed it up real good, didn't I?
Richard M. Nixon
The language of politics is poetry, not prose. Jackson is poetry. Cuomo is poetry. Dukakis is a word processor.
Richard M. Nixon
