And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
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…
This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.
