Richard Nixon: “I will not allow those forces to be endangered by a massive North Vietnamese incursion, if one should be undertaken.”

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

As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

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