I didn't do anything wrong and I promise to never do it again.

My own view is that taping of conversations for historical purposes was a bad decision on the part of all the presidents. I don't think Kennedy should have done it. I don't think Johnson should have done it, and I don't think we should have done it.

When the President does it, that means that it's not illegal.

I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.

Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does.

If some of my judgments were wrong - and some were wrong - they were made in what I believed at the time to be the best interest of the nation.

I really believe life is simple. It's all the other people that make things complicated.
