Richard Nixon

We win elections not simply for the purpose of beating the other party or the other person, but to get the opportunity to do good things for our country.

Our speakers throughout campaigned hard.

Thanks for making our last campaign the very best one of all.

We are dedicated to work for all Americans to make this a greater country.

Regardless of how you vote, I urge each of you to vote.

By your votes, you can send a message to those with whom we are negotiating, and to the leaders of the world, that you back the President of the United States in his insistence that we in the United States seek peace with honor and never…

I can say to you with complete confidence tonight that we will soon reach agreement on all the issues and bring this long and difficult war to an end.

As your President during these past 4 years, I have visited every one of the 50 States, every region of the country, hundreds of American cities and towns, large and small.

I would like to spend a few minutes thinking with you this afternoon about the birthright we ought to guarantee for them.

Our ninth goal for 1976 must be a pluralist, open America.

We all want to make the election of 1972 one of our finest hours, and we have the opportunity to do so.

Let us assure each child, as the fourth part of his birthright, the chance to go to school in a well-educated America.

Peace, more than anything else, can enrich the lives of the children of the seventies.

I think Americans want our democracy to meet a higher standard than that.

Point five of the American birthright must be a secure and a prosperous America.

Our seventh goal for the birthright of tomorrow's children must be an America free from fear.

Let us make our third goal a healthy America.

Let us resolve that they will not.

We can be proud that this land of ours is a great and a good country.

Let us make the sixth article of their birthright a livable America.

I intend to stand up for national unity as I have always done, because America is bigger than any one man or any one party.

First, let us give tomorrow's children the birthright of an America at peace in a world at peace.

The tenth and last part of this American birthright, the most important aspect of all, is our children's right to be born into a great and a good America.

Our eighth goal must be a free and self-governed America.

I promise that in the next 4 years I will continue to use every resource at my disposal to keep us building, to keep us leading the way, and to keep America strong, decent, and united.
