It I talked about Watergate, I was described as struggling to free myself from the morass. If I did not talk about Watergate, I was accused of being out of touch with reality.

I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.

If an individual wants to be a leader and isn't controversial, that means he never stood for anything.

If I had feelings, I probably wouldn’t have even survived.

It is in that spirit, the spirit of '76, that I ask you to rise and join me in a toast to Chairman Mao, to Premier Chou, to the people of our two countries, and to the hope of our children that peace and harmony can be the legacy of our generation to theirs.

What was Watergate? A little bugging!

I gave 'em a sword. And they stuck it in, and they twisted it with relish. And I guess if I had been in their position, I'd have done the same thing.
