More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
There can be no whitewash at the White House.
Richard M. Nixon
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
Solutions are not the answer.
Richard M. Nixon
I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.
Richard M. Nixon
I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.
Richard M. Nixon
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

Richard M. Nixon
Honesty may not be the best policy, but it is worth trying once in a while.
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
Once genius is submerged by bureaucracy, a nation is doomed to mediocrity.
Richard M. Nixon
Success is not a harbor but a voyage with its own perils to the spirit ... The lesson that most of us on this voyage never learn, but can never quite forget, is that to win is sometimes to lose.
Richard M. Nixon
I've never left a game before it ended. You never know when there could be a big turnaround in the game.
Richard M. Nixon
It I talked about Watergate, I was described as struggling to free myself from the morass. If I did not talk about Watergate, I was accused of being out of touch with reality.
Richard M. Nixon
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Richard M. Nixon
The Italians . . . you can't find one who is honest.
Richard M. Nixon
Federal and state laws (should) be changed to no longer make it a crime to possess marijuana for private use.
Richard M. Nixon
I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.
Richard M. Nixon
