The jawbone of an ass is just as dangerous a weapon today as in Sampson's time.
Richard M. Nixon
People are persuaded by reason, but moved by emotion [the leader] must both persuade them and move them.
Richard M. Nixon
Since I have never one a debate let me tell you how not to lose one.

Richard M. Nixon
To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit. To find that answer, we need only look within ourselves. When we listen to the better angels of our nature, we find that they celebrate the simple things, the basic things--such as goodness, decency, love, kindness. Greatness comes in simple trappings.
Richard M. Nixon
We will establish a new system that makes high-quality health care available to every American in a dignified manner and at a price he can afford.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Richard M. Nixon
They say it's the responsibility of the media to look at government - especially the President - with a microscope. I don't argue with that, but when they use a proctoscope, it's going too far.
Richard M. Nixon
The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.
Richard M. Nixon
The man of thought who will not act is ineffective the man of action who will not think is dangerous.
Richard M. Nixon
