Richard Nixon: “He sacrificed his life on a mission of mercy.”

I do hereby proclaim October 29, 1974, as National Student Government Day.

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.

It is only a beginning, always.
