Richard Nixon: “Which man, which candidate for the Presidency can keep the peace for this country and keep it without surrender?”

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

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

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…

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