Richard Nixon: “Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 1, 1973…”

We will see you again.

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…

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.

Mistakes, yes. But for personal gain, never.
