Richard Nixon: “The United States has fought in defense of freedom, and we must maintain those defense and free forces.”

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

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

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

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.
