Nixon Quotes

Anslinger’s reefer madness did not caution even the seeds of efficient, intelligent, ruthless action ...

Unlike President Obama, President Nixon was a capitalist who did not believe in ‘remaking’ the very character of America Picture Quote #1

When Reagan left office, he was the most unpopular living president, apart from Nixon, even below Carter. If you look at his years in office, he was not particularly popular. He was more or less average. He severely harmed the American economy Picture Quote #1

Angela Davis’s legacy as a freedom fighter made her an enemy of the state under the increasingly neoliberal regimes of Nixon, Reagan and J. Edgar Hoover because she understood that the struggle for freedom was not only a struggle for political and individual rights but also for economic rights Picture Quote #1

I went to see President Nixon at the White House. It wasn’t difficult to get a meeting because I was heavyweight champion of the world. So I came to Washington and walked around the garden with Nixon, his wife and daughter. I said: I want you to give Ali his licence back. I want to beat him up for you Picture Quote #1

Previous presidents, including great ones like Roosevelt, have used the IRS against their enemies. But I don’t think Barack Obama ever wanted to be on the same page as Richard Nixon Picture Quote #1

Bill Clinton was impeached primarily for criminal conduct: lying under oath and misleading a federal grand jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Nixon would have been impeached for a wide array of criminal acts, as well as abuses of power Picture Quote #1

When Nixon declared the war on cancer, he had no army. He had no tools. He had no anything, except good intentions Picture Quote #1

I can remember my sister and me volunteering for Nixon. My parents liked him. I liked my parents. So I figured he was good Picture Quote #1

Presidents Truman and Nixon left office under dark clouds of scandal and with abysmal levels of support, but with the passage of time, both have been reassessed far more positively Picture Quote #1

In 1971, near the middle of Nixon’s first term, he approved a plan to install a White House taping system as a way of preserving an accurate chronicle of important discussions and decisions. Except for Nixon, three aides, and the Secret Service, no one knew about the listening devices Picture Quote #1

Working for President Nixon was the most extraordinary professional experience of my life. He was endlessly fascinating: brilliant, visionary, kind, generous, warm, funny - and yes, a good man Picture Quote #1

Congressional Republicans are dismantling the limited environmental protections initiated by Richard Nixon, who would be something of a dangerous radical in today’s political scene Picture Quote #1

I met Gerald Ford. I met Richard Nixon. I met Jimmy Carter. I met Dwight Eisenhower when he was a general. George Bush senior. I haven’t met Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, although I got a letter from him Picture Quote #1

I was raised - and still consider myself to be - Catholic, though I’m non-practicing and haven’t fulfilled my Easter duty since sometime during the Nixon years. I’m assailed by all kinds of stimulating doubts, but I do believe in God Picture Quote #1

I have seen periods of progress followed by reaction. I have seen the hopes and aspirations of Negroes rise during World War II, only to be smashed during the Eisenhower years. I am seeing the victories of the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations destroyed by Richard Nixon Picture Quote #1

Nixon: The only place where you and I disagree... Is with regard to the bombing. You’re so goddamned concerned about civilians and I don’t give a damn. I don’t care.

As President Nixon says, presidents can do almost anything, and President Nixon has done many things that nobody would have thought of doing Picture Quote #1
