More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Maybe New York shouldn't survive. Maybe it should go through a cycle of destruction.
Richard M. Nixon
Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does.
Richard M. Nixon
The successful leader does not talk down to people. He lifts them up.
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
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
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
A politician knows that his friends are not always his allies, and that his adversaries are not always his enemies.
Richard M. Nixon
Anybody who wants to be an ambassador, wants to pay at least $250,000.
Richard M. Nixon
Failure isn't falling down. Failure is not getting up after you have fallen down.
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
Idealism without realism is impotent. Realism without idealism is immoral.
Richard M. Nixon
I really believe life is simple. It's all the other people that make things complicated.
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
While might certainly does not make right, neither does right by itself make might.
Richard M. Nixon
Castro couldn't even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.
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
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
The language of politics is poetry, not prose. Jackson is poetry. Cuomo is poetry. Dukakis is a word processor.
Richard M. Nixon
What a strange creature man is that he fouls his own nest.
Richard M. Nixon
If you think the United States has stood still, who built the largest shopping center in the world?
Richard M. Nixon
