Richard M. Nixon
Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.
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 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
Because of the realities of human nature, perfect peace is achieved in two places only: in the grave and at the typewriter.
Richard M. Nixon
They say, Gee, you look great. That means they thought you looked like hell before.
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
A politician knows that his friends are not always his allies, and that his adversaries are not always his enemies.
Richard M. Nixon
I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is opposed to every instinct in my body. But as president I must put the interests of America first Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
Richard M. Nixon
