Richard Nixon: “I want you to know how much I appreciate your outstanding work as well as the generous sacrifice of your personal…”

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…

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

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