I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.

Well, I screwed it up real good, didn't I?

I never leave a game before the last pitch, because in baseball, as in life and especially politics, you never know what will happen.

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is opposed to every instinct in my body. But as president I must put the interests of America first Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

If in order to avoid further Communist expansion in Asia and particularly in Indo-China, if in order to avoid it we must take the risk by putting American boys in, I believe that the executive branch of the government has to take the politically unpopular position of facing up to it and doing it, and I personally would support such a decision.

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

A politician knows that his friends are not always his allies, and that his adversaries are not always his enemies.
