Richard Nixon: “I do hereby proclaim the month of February 1972 as American Heart Month.”

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

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent 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…

I have always tried to do what was best for the Nation.

I have never been a quitter.
