Peace is a great goal, but it is not a panacea. Neither is material wealth.
Richard M. Nixon
I'm not going to be the first American president to lose a war.
Richard M. Nixon
The student who invades an administration building, roughs up a dean, rifles the files and issues 'non-negotiable demands' may have some of his demands met by a permissive university administration. But the greater his 'victory' the more he will have undermined the security of his own rights.
Richard M. Nixon
I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
Look at the Justice Department, it's full of Jews...The lawyers in government are damn Jews.
Richard M. Nixon
Peace demands more, not less, from a people. Peace lacks the clarity of purpose and the cadence of war. War is scripted: peace is improvisation.
Richard M. Nixon
Being trustworthy is something you are, something you stand for and a core value you live by. It isn't something you can train for nor is it something you can manipulate. You either have those values or you don't.
Richard M. Nixon
Anybody who wants to be an ambassador, wants to pay at least $250,000.
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
[The public lands represent] in a sense, the breathing space of the nation.
Richard M. Nixon
As we work to expand our supplies of energy, we should also recognize that we must balance those efforts with our concern to preserve our environment. In the past, as we have sought new energy sources, we have too often damaged or despoiled our land.
Richard M. Nixon
[Peter] Drucker says that modern government can do only two things well: wage war and inflate the currency. Its the aim of my administration to prove Mr Drucker wrong.
Richard M. Nixon
Under the doctrine of separation of powers, the manner in which the president personally exercises his assigned executive powers is not subject to questioning by another branch of government.
Richard M. Nixon
Baseball without fans is like Jayne Mansfield without a sweater. Hang on, that can be taken two ways.
Richard M. Nixon
