Richard Nixon: “On behalf of all of you who have had the opportunity to hear this splendid program, I wish to express our appreciation…”

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

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

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

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