Richard Nixon: “There will be no honor greater than the one I have today to address my fellow legislators.”

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…

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

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