Richard M. Nixon
What are our schools for if not indoctrination against Communism?
Richard M. Nixon
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
Richard M. Nixon
Those few days after Kent State were among the darkest of my presidency.
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 building bridges, but we should only build our end of the bridge.
Richard M. Nixon
If we take the route of the permanent handout, the American character will itself be impoverished.
Richard M. Nixon
Communism starts with the proposition that there are no universal truths or general truths of human nature.
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
