Richard Nixon

I don't think that's the American way to handle the problem.

Just let me say this my friends: when you elect a President, remember he needs help.

We will conquer the world without war, and we think we can, but our objective is to conquer the world - period - and to use any means that are necessary.

How do you keep the peace without surrender?

If I hadn't received that scholarship, I wouldn't be here today, because I couldn't have gone to law school without the scholarship.

As you know, we have been whistlestopping through the State of Michigan today and we have had many great meetings, but I want you to know here in Muskegon that this reception - first, the meeting inside and now the one outside - will go…

I could spell it out in great detail, but let me just point it up with a few examples.

I say that anybody who is a presidential candidate and who goes about predicting a recession is doing one of the most despicable, irresponsible things that I have ever seen in my career as a politician.

Well, I think it's time also that we recognize this: That we do have troubles in the world, and I can tell you we're going to continue to have them, but the question is not whether you have troubles, but whether you handle them by avoiding…

We want leaders in Washington, D.C., who know only one boss, and that is the American people.

And I say the American people like the kind of leadership that got us out of the Korean war, has kept us out of other wars and has kept peace without surrender today - and they don't want to take a chance on other leadership in the future.

I believe that the decision you make for President this year can affect not only America, not only the world, but that it will affect everything, every person in this country, because the time is past in America that what happened in our…

I certainly want you to know how deeply my wife, Pat, and I appreciate this wonderful welcome.

Cabot Lodge and I stand for that kind of leadership.

So, consequently, I urge you to make a decision.

And I have been thrilled by the fact that, as we have whistlestopped through Michigan today, we have had the biggest crowds in the history of every town we have been in on that whistlestop tour - and this can mean only one thing: that…

Bob Griffin has what we call in politics something called guts, and that means he has the courage of his convictions.

It's time to set the record straight, and I set it straight today.

What happens to America is important - and I say that all of you, whatever your party is - I ask you - I ask you to consider us not just as men, not just according to party labels, not according to what somebody tells you how to vote down…

And let me say this: America, my friends, can move forward, and we're moving forward, and we're going to move forward under our leadership.

If you will just pull your signs down, then the people in back can see.

We realize, therefore, that we are rendering a real service to you when we see that you get your money's worth.

Now, what am I trying to say?
