Richard Nixon: “I intend to resist the kind of spending that drives up taxes or drives up prices.”

This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.

In keeping Federal spending under control, we do not intend, of course, to single out only farm or environmental programs.

This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.

This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.
