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.

More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.
Richard M. Nixon
Never forget, the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it.
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
Let us build bridges, my friends, build bridges to human dignity across that gulf that separates black America from white America.
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 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
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
Let us remember that the main purpose of American aid is not to help other nations, but to help ourselves.
Richard M. Nixon
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
If you are ever going to lie, you go to jail for the lie rather than the crime. So believe me, don't ever lie.
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
I have a theory, too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth
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
I had never expected that the China initiative would come to fruition in the form of a Ping-Pong team.
Richard M. Nixon
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
The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.
Richard M. Nixon
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
As we work to expand our supplies of energy, we should also recognize that we must balance those efforts with our concern to preserve our environment. In the past, as we have sought new energy sources, we have too often damaged or despoiled our land.
Richard M. Nixon
The bastards have never been bombed like they're going to be bombed this time.
Richard M. Nixon
