Richard Nixon: “It is quite significant that the drive for funds for this organization begins on Mother's Day and ends on Father's Day.”

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…

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

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.

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