Richard M. Nixon
Since I have never one a debate let me tell you how not to lose one.
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
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
It is not enough just to be for peace. The point is, what can we do about it?

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
The three most difficult words to speak are, I was wrong.
Richard M. Nixon
Mr. Stevenson has a degree alright-a PhD from the Acheson College of Cowardly Communist Containment.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
The Jews are irreligious, atheistic, immoral bunch of bastards.
Richard M. Nixon
The great question of the seventies is, shall we surrender to our surroundings, or shall we make our peace with nature and begin to make reparations for the damage we have done to our air, to our land, and to our water?
Richard M. Nixon
I think Congress has spent enough time on ethics. I think it's time they moved on to something else.
Richard M. Nixon
The language of politics is poetry, not prose. Jackson is poetry. Cuomo is poetry. Dukakis is a word processor.
Richard M. Nixon
Scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as much dignity as the Presidency.
Richard M. Nixon
We are not spending the Federal Government's money, we are spending the taxpayer's money, and it must be spent n a way which guarantees his money's worth and yields the fullest possible benefit to the people being helped.
Richard M. Nixon
The Jews are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality.
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
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
Richard M. Nixon
