That's the difference between my meeting and any other. If you don't want to promise to do something, don't come to my meeting, stay home.

William J. ClintonI think the country could be spared a lot of agony and the government could worry about inflation and a lot of other problems if [Nixon would] go on and resign. [There is] no question that an admission of making false statements to government officials and interfering with the FBI and the CIA is an impeachable offense.
