Richard Nixon: “Let us make the sixth article of their birthright a livable America.”

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.

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

I have never been a quitter.
