More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Because of the realities of human nature, perfect peace is achieved in two places only: in the grave and at the typewriter.
Richard M. Nixon
This Memorial Day should remind us of the greatness that past generations of Americans achieved from Valley Forge to Vietnam, and it should inspire us with the determination to keep America great and free by keeping America safe and strong in our own time, a time of unique destiny and opportunity for our Nation.
Richard M. Nixon
Maybe New York shouldn't survive. Maybe it should go through a cycle of destruction.
Richard M. Nixon
The recent upsurge of public concern over environmental questions reflects a belated recognition that man has been too cavalier in his relations with nature. Unless we arrest the depredations that have been inflicted so carelessly on our natural systems-which exist in an intricate set of balances-we face the prospect of ecological disaster.
Richard M. Nixon
I was not lying. I said things that later on seemed to be untrue.
Richard M. Nixon
Let me just say this, and I want to say this to the televison audience: I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service
Richard M. Nixon
The developing coherence of Asian regional thinking is reflected in a disposition to consider problems and loyalties in regional terms, and to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a New World Order.
Richard M. Nixon
What we have done with the American Indian is its way as bad as what we imposed on the Negroes. We took a proud and independent race and virtually destroyed them. We have to find ways to bring them back into decent lives in this country.
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
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
Castro couldn't even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.
Richard M. Nixon
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
Richard M. Nixon
Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.
Richard M. Nixon
I often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.
Richard M. Nixon
Those who hate you don't win unless you hate them back.
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
It is not enough just to be for peace. The point is, what can we do about it?
Richard M. Nixon
Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.
Richard M. Nixon
What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.
Richard M. Nixon
You cannot win a battle in any arena merely by defending yourself.
Richard M. Nixon
