Richard Nixon: “Our goal must not be bigger government, but better government--at all levels.”

We think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended.

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

This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.

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