Richard Nixon

The American people are not interested in my health. They're interested in their own health.

I am not going to allow the American people to be divided by those who would use the issue of race for political purposes.

The greatest honor that can come to any man is to be chosen by the people to lead them.

I've always believed that you have to be tough to be a good President.

The American people want to be led. They want someone who will lead them.

You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.

I don’t know why they call it ‘tricky Dick.’ I’ve never cheated on my wife.

I can see the day when you’ll have a black president, but I don’t believe he’ll come from the Republican Party.

Sock it to me?

The Jews are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality.

I don’t give a shit what happens. I want you all to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover-up, or anything else.

I don’t like homosexuality. I don’t like it in women, and I don’t like it in men.

I am not a crook.

The American people are not going to be stampeded by a bunch of wild-eyed, radical college students.

The average American is just like the child in the family. You give him some responsibility and he'll be all right.

I'm not going to be one of those who is going to sit around and cry about the mistakes of the past. What we've got to do is get on with the business of the future.

The American people want to believe in something. They want to believe in their country. They want to believe in their President.

We are all in this boat together, and we are either going to sink or we are going to swim.

The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fires.

I'm sure that I don't have to tell you that the future of America depends on the future of our children.
