Richard Nixon: “We will deal realistically with governments as they are, not seeking to impose our political structure on other nations.”

I have never been a quitter.

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…

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