President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.
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

Richard M. Nixon
People are persuaded by reason, but moved by emotion [the leader] must both persuade them and move them.
Richard M. Nixon
Violence or the threat of violence [must] never be permitted to influence the actions or judgments of the university community. Once it does, the community, almost by definition, ceases to be a university. It is for this reason that from time immemorial expulsion has been the primary instrument of university discipline.
Richard M. Nixon
The Jewish cabal is out to get me.
Richard M. Nixon
Solutions are not the answer.
Richard M. Nixon
If you think the United States has stood still, who built the largest shopping center in the world?
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
Success is not a harbor but a voyage with its own perils to the spirit ... The lesson that most of us on this voyage never learn, but can never quite forget, is that to win is sometimes to lose.
Richard M. Nixon
What are our schools for if not indoctrination against Communism?
