More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
I'm not for women, frankly, in any job. I don't want any of them around. Thank God we don't have any in the Cabinet.
Richard M. Nixon
We still think of air as free. But clean air is not free, and neither is clean water. The price tag on pollution control is high. Through our years of past carelessness we incurred a debt to nature, and now that debt is being called.
Richard M. Nixon
My own view is that taping of conversations for historical purposes was a bad decision on the part of all the presidents. I don't think Kennedy should have done it. I don't think Johnson should have done it, and I don't think we should have done it.
Richard M. Nixon
I seriously doubt if we will ever have another war. This is probably the very last one.
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
Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth.
Richard M. Nixon
There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white.
Richard M. Nixon
With those who are willing to join, let us cooperate to reduce the burden of arms, to strengthen the structure of peace, to lift up the poor and the hungry.
Richard M. Nixon
Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.
Richard M. Nixon
I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.
Richard M. Nixon
Let us build bridges, my friends, build bridges to human dignity across that gulf that separates black America from white America.
Richard M. Nixon
There are some instances where you may be ahead of us, for example, in the development of the thrust of your rockets for the investigation of outer space there may be some instances in which we are ahead of you--in color television, for instance.
Richard M. Nixon
The ultimate test of a nation's character is not how it responds to adversity in war but how it meets the challenge of peace.
Richard M. Nixon
It's a piece of cake until you get to the top. You find you can't stop playing the game the way you've always played it.
Richard M. Nixon
Lyndon Johnson rose above the doubt and fear to hold this Nation on course until we rediscovered our faith in ourselves.
Richard M. Nixon
I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.
Richard M. Nixon
My strong point, if I have a strong point, is performance. I always do more than I say. I always produce more than I promise.
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
Yes, I wish I'd done it sooner.
Richard M. Nixon
Maybe New York shouldn't survive. Maybe it should go through a cycle of destruction.
Richard M. Nixon
