More quotes by Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
We must never forget that if the war in Vietnam is lost ... the right of free speech will be extinguished throughout the world.
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
Those few days after Kent State were among the darkest of my presidency.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.
Richard M. Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
