You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.

The British constitution has always been puzzling and always will be.

Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.

This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.

An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t ruled politics out.

I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this ‚hopey changey stuff,‘ she was right: there was nothing there.

No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary – not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.

I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

I have been very happy in the House of Representatives.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‚Present‘ or ‚Not guilty.‘

The fundamental question I believe is, ‚Is political Islam in our best interest?‘ If not, what is our policy to authoritatively support the countervailing forces?

I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.

Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors… I mean it.

Even if the politics needed doesn’t exist today, we still need to use our voices to make sure that the people in power are focused on the right things. Because this is a democracy, and in a democracy, people are the ones who run the country.

A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants.

History shows that, more often than not, loss of sovereignty leads to liberalisation imposed in the interests of the powerful.

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.

I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

Putin sought to destabilize Ukraine’s economy.

Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.

The President is always abused. If he isn’t, he isn’t doing anything.

I had just as much support from Republicans as I did Democrats when I ran for president. But I should have organized the Democratic Party to get me re-elected.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another.

I was 22 when JFK was murdered, and I will never recover from it… Never.

You and I are stuck with the necessity of taking the worst of two evils or none at all. So-I’m taking the immature Democrat as the best of the two. Nixon is impossible.

Politics have no relation to morals.

The truth of the matter is that Iran is a cancer.

To some degree it matters who’s in office, but it matters more how much pressure they’re under from the public.

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

Unlike presidential administrations, problems rarely have terminal dates.

This election is about who’s going to be the next President of the United States!

I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can’t be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they’re not getting some other matter.

Running for office is similar to being a trial lawyer in a very long trial. It requires adrenaline and stamina; it requires being in shape mentally and emotionally. It’s a marathon.

Richard Nixon was an evil man – evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.

It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.

The last thing I wanted to do was to be a wartime President.

I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.

There’s some jerks. There’s some big egos. There are a few that think they’re one of the Founding Fathers… in both parties.

I brought myself down. I impeached myself by resigning.

The rulers of the state are the only persons who ought to have the privilege of lying, either at home or abroad; they may be allowed to lie for the good of the state.

I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government other than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.

The elections are run by the same industries that sell toothpaste on television.

It isn’t generally the case that liberals dominate entire hierarchies. That isn’t generally how it works, because the hierarchies are usually set up so that conservatives fill up the hierarchies; it’s in the nature of hierarchy.

I have not endorsed Trump and will not do so.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in.

Once upon a time my political opponents honored me as possessing the fabulous intellectual and economic power by which I created a worldwide depression all by myself.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.

Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa’s leading organization – and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

We are not going to be satisfied by politicians saying ‚we support you‘ and then walking away. We won’t be satisfied until they meet our demands and act. That’s why simply taking a selfie or posting support on Twitter isn’t enough. That’s why we have to keep striking.

Obamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.

We are all the President’s men.

There is too much government today. We’ve got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.
