Richard Nixon: “I want you to know how much I appreciate not only your encouraging comments but also your readiness to continue helping…”

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.

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

Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
