The only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.

The Soviet Union began by banishing God. The United States began as a community of people who wanted to worship God as they chose. . . Man does not live by bread alone. Those in the United States whose desire to create a strictly secular society is as strong as Lenin's was should study this Cold War lesson closely. Communism was defeated by an alliance spearheaded by 'one nation under God.'

Well, I'm not a crook.

Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.

I let the American people down.

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

I would not like to be a political leader in Russia. They never know when they're being taped.
