To the ordinary guy, all this is a bunch of gobbledygook. But out of the gobbledygook comes a very clear thing: you can't trust the government, you can't believe what they say, and you can't rely on their judgment.
Richard M. Nixon

Bring us together again.
Richard M. Nixon
You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.
Richard M. Nixon
Lyndon Johnson rose above the doubt and fear to hold this Nation on course until we rediscovered our faith in ourselves.
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
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Richard M. Nixon
I'm not for women, frankly, in any job. I don't want any of them around. Thank God we don't have any in the Cabinet.
Richard M. Nixon
If in order to avoid further Communist expansion in Asia and particularly in Indo-China, if in order to avoid it we must take the risk by putting American boys in, I believe that the executive branch of the government has to take the politically unpopular position of facing up to it and doing it, and I personally would support such a decision.
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
During the Prince's visit, King Timahoe will be referred to only as Timahoe, since it would be inappropriate for the Prince to be outranked by a dog.
Richard M. Nixon
My gravest secret is that I really did fake the moon landing. On Venus!
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
Peace demands more, not less, from a people. Peace lacks the clarity of purpose and the cadence of war. War is scripted: peace is improvisation.
Richard M. Nixon
Castro couldn't even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.
Richard M. Nixon
Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
Richard M. Nixon
The Jews are irreligious, atheistic, immoral bunch of bastards.
Richard M. Nixon
Those who hate us only win if we hate them back
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
Maybe New York shouldn't survive. Maybe it should go through a cycle of destruction.
Richard M. Nixon
People are persuaded by reason, but moved by emotion [the leader] must both persuade them and move them.
Richard M. Nixon
Peace is a great goal, but it is not a panacea. Neither is material wealth.
Richard M. Nixon
