Now that all the members of the press are so delighted I lost, I'd like to make a statement. As I leave you I want you to know -just think how much you'll be missing. You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.

I refuse to make a decision that somebody else can make. The first rule of leadership is to save yourself for the big decision. Don't allow your mind to become cluttered.

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

We are all in it together. This is a war. We take a few shots and it will be over. We will give them a few shots and it will be over.

I'll speak for the man, or against him, whichever will do him the most good.

I believe in building bridges, but we should only build our end of the bridge.

Television in its present form...[is] the opiate of the people of the United States.
