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

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