Richard Nixon: “The leadership that America selects this November will determine the course of the future for America.”

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

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.

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