Richard Nixon: “For only if we do these things will we have order and justice in America.”

A strong America is essential to maintaining world peace.

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…

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

It is only a beginning, always.
