Richard Nixon: “I wish you well in what you do in the future.”

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…

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

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

Mistakes, yes. But for personal gain, never.
