Richard Nixon: “I am grateful for the timely response of the Congress to the request I made for this legislation just 2 months ago.”

Mistakes, yes. But for personal gain, never.

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty.

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

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