Richard Nixon: “I very much appreciate the willingness of the Commission to undertake this effort.”

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…

May God's grace be with you in all the days ahead.

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

I am firmly convinced that the record, in its entirety, does not justify the extreme step of impeachment and removal of a President.
