Richard M. Nixon
Now that all the members of the press are so delighted I lost, I'd like to make a statement. As I leave you I want you to know -just think how much you'll be missing. You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.

The Jewish cabal is out to get me.
Richard M. Nixon
Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.
Richard M. Nixon
I'm not going to be the first American president to lose a war.
Richard M. Nixon
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.
Richard M. Nixon

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
[Peter] Drucker says that modern government can do only two things well: wage war and inflate the currency. Its the aim of my administration to prove Mr Drucker wrong.
Richard M. Nixon
Scrubbing floors and emptying bedpans has as much dignity as the Presidency.
