Tonight - to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans - I ask for your support.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
There are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I'm not like that I never shoot blanks.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
If you think the United States has stood still, who built the largest shopping center in the world?
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
A president can ask for reconciliation in the racial conflict that divides Americans. But reconciliation comes only from the hearts of people.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
It's a piece of cake until you get to the top. You find you can't stop playing the game the way you've always played it.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
The answer to many of the domestic problems we face is not higher taxes and more spending. It is less waste, more results and greater freedom for the individual American to earn a rightful place in his own community - and for States and localities to address their own needs in their own ways, in the light of their own priorities.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
It is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
If we take the route of the permanent handout, the American character will itself be impoverished.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Under the doctrine of separation of powers, the manner in which the president personally exercises his assigned executive powers is not subject to questioning by another branch of government.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Let us build bridges, my friends, build bridges to human dignity across that gulf that separates black America from white America.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
The memory of that scene for me is like a frame of film forever frozen at that moment: the red carpet, the green lawn, the white house, the leaden sky. The new president and his first lady.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
I see the face of a child. He lives in a great city. He is black. Or he is white. He is Mexican, Italian, Polish. None of that matters. What matters, he's an American child.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I'm innocent. You've got to believe I'm innocent. If you don't, take my job.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
I don't know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
If an individual wants to be a leader and isn't controversial, that means he never stood for anything.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another - until we speak quietly enough so that our words can be heard as well as our voices.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
I gave 'em a sword. And they stuck it in, and they twisted it with relish. And I guess if I had been in their position, I'd have done the same thing.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates.
Quote by -Richard M. Nixon
Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.
