I've never left a game before it ended. You never know when there could be a big turnaround in the game.

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.

Image
Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.

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.

Image
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
Image
If some of my judgments were wrong - and some were wrong - they were made in what I believed at the time to be the best interest of the nation.

Richard M. Nixon
Image
I wish I could give you a lot of advice, based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don't have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
My strong point, if I have a strong point, is performance. I always do more than I say. I always produce more than I promise.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
Black Americans, no more than white Americans, they do not want more government programs which perpetuate dependency. They don't want to be a colony in a nation.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
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
Image
The successful leader does not talk down to people. He lifts them up.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
People are persuaded by reason, but moved by emotion [the leader] must both persuade them and move them.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
We still think of air as free. But clean air is not free, and neither is clean water. The price tag on pollution control is high. Through our years of past carelessness we incurred a debt to nature, and now that debt is being called.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
What a strange creature man is that he fouls his own nest.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
They say, Gee, you look great. That means they thought you looked like hell before.
