Richard Nixon: “This is a great and a good country.”

Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.

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…

Mistakes, yes. But for personal gain, never.

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
