Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does.

I'd like to see people, instead of spending so much time on the ethical problem, get after the problems that really affect the people of this country

I hereby resign this office of president of the United States.

Our chief justices have probably had more profound and lasting influence on their times and on the direction of the nation than most presidents.

But above all, what this Congress can be remembered for is opening the way to a new American revolutiona peaceful revolution in which power was turned back to the peoplein which government at all levels was refreshed and renewed and made truly responsive. This can be a revolution as profound, as far-reaching, as exciting as that first revolution almost 200 years agoand it can mean that just 5 years from now America will enter its third century as a young nation new in spirit, with all the vigor and the freshness with which it began its first century.

What a strange creature man is that he fouls his own nest.

People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I earned everything I've got.
