Richard Nixon — "I was not a great President, but I was a good President."

"I can only say, that I am not a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President, I must put the interest of America first."

"We must stand for peace, but we must also be strong enough to defend ourselves."

"I have found that the American people are a very forgiving people."

"The true test of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience, but how he stands at times of controversy and challenge."

"I don't think that when I go to the bathroom, I should have to tell the whole world what I'm doing."
