Richard Nixon

We are stronger militarily, stronger economically, stronger morally and spiritually, and we are not to be shaken and we are not to lose our nerve or be knocked off balance by anything he says or does.

It must never make a concession without getting a concession in return.

No President of the United States, Democrat or Republican, must ever feel that he must express regrets or apologize for attempting to defend the security of the United States against surprise attack.

We recognize the primary source of growth in a free economy is not what the Federal Government does, but it is by what the Federal Government does in inspiring and stimulating the creative activities of 180 million free Americans.

But, believe me, we do not have to be afraid of the comparison.

It is the responsibility of the Federal Government not to come in and federalize the institutions in these areas, but to adopt programs which will enable them to make maximum use of their tremendous human resources and their natural…

America must stand for extending the cause of freedom, of winning the battle for freedom that is going on all over the world, and that battle, my friends, is one that's taking place in a number of areas, and one of them is economic.

I stand on what I said because I would only rely on the reports of what I considered to be responsible newsmen covering him, and the words I read were an exact quote.

There were others who felt that the President might have been able to have saved the conference by acceding to Mr. Khrushchev's request that he express regrets for the U-2 flights.

I think that, on its face, the question is so ridiculous, the charge ridiculous, that I will not comment on it.

Young people have very few prejudices.

I don't know of any other way to get the candidates known to the people and their views communicated.

I am confident if we can, however, back the United Nations, that this means that the Soviet Union will have to back down in the Congo.

I think the beneficial effect is in creating tremendous interest in the election and in bringing out a vote - big vote - and I think in that respect it will be beneficial.

We must not be belligerent because we cannot enjoy the luxury of losing our tempers.

America stands for moral and spiritual ideals, for the God-given dignity of men and women.

Our farmers must be prosperous.

When Mr. Khrushchev was here, as you know, he visited Iowa.

We are tremendously pleased and may I say humble in the presence of this wonderful crowd here in Council Bluffs.

In other words, the farm problem is a product more of politics than of productivity.

If we are to have the kind of economy that we want, may I say also that we must recognize that America's progress economically in the past has been the result not of what government in Washington has done but it's been a result primarily…

I realized how small the troubles of most of us really are.

When you're confident of your strength, when you know you're right, you don't have to get down to the level of a man who insults you, as Mr. Khrushchev was insulting the President.

Don't think of the personality of the man.

I pledge to you we will keep America strong as she is today - stronger than anybody in the world so that we can keep the peace.
