Richard Nixon: “Mr. President, I hope to have the opportunity at some time to meet with you personally during my second term in office.”

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

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…

It is only a beginning, always.

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