Richard Nixon: “These accords offer tangible evidence that mankind need not live forever in the dark shadow of nuclear war.”

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…

A strong America is essential to maintaining world peace.

Our military forces deter potential aggressors and, together with those of our allies, serve to assure the continued security of the free world.

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