Richard Nixon
US President, Watergate
Sayings by Richard Nixon
The American dream belongs to all of us.
We must recognize that we are not living in a static world. We are living in a changing world.
The only thing that is constant in life is change.
We have to remember that the main purpose of the military is to fight and win wars.
The American people are a great people. They are a strong people. They are a good people.
Our nation has been through a long and difficult period. But we have come through it. We have come through it stronger than ever before.
It is necessary to be strong, not to be loved.
We must never forget that the only way to deal with the problems of the world is to deal with them head-on.
I can take the heat.
I've always believed that you should work hard and play hard.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
We must never forget that the government is the servant of the people, not their master.
The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.
I'm not going to get involved in any more discussions of Watergate.
I don't think a President should be a man who wants to be loved. I think a President should be a man who does what he believes is right and lets the chips fall where they may.
You know, it's a funny thing. Every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob?
The Jews are all over the government.
The Negro is just not ready to govern himself.
The Irish can't drink. What you have to do is to get them to piss. The Italians can drink, the Jews can drink, but the Irish can't drink.
The average American is just like the child in the family.
