My mom was a Democrat and I was scared to death that she was gonna blow it. First I was going to hell with Monroe, and now to Republican hell with Nixon.
Tommy Rettig

Nixon did have a secret plan, and I knew that it involved making threats of nuclear war to North Vietnam.
Daniel Ellsberg

Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. They will be remembered. But a president probably gets remembered for one thing, and Watergate will head the Nixon list, I suspect.
Bob Woodward

Nixon is finding out there are no tails on an Eisenhower jacket.
Adlai E. Stevenson

Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.
Harry S. Truman

Nixon is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump for a speech on conservation.
Adlai Stevenson

Nixon regarded himself as having been cheated by life. He never got my vote.
Stephen Ambrose

Nixon was kind of a loner, he had a cold personality.
Earl Butz

Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Congress, lifetime members of his own political party, the American people and the world.
Barry Goldwater

Nixon, who spent much of his career attacking the press and saying he was a victim of the press, was in fact created by the press, in this case the L.A. Times.
David Halberstam

Nixon's attempts to order subversion of various departments was bound to come out in some form.
Bob Woodward

Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
Bob Woodward

Not a season passes without new disclosures showing Nixon's numerous attempts at criminal use of his presidential powers and in fact the scorn he held for the rule of law.
Bob Woodward

Now I start my diary of my personal plot to kill by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace.
Arthur Bremer

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.
Harry S. Truman

Some people thought we were presenting Archie as a false character. President Nixon thought we were making a fool out of a good man.
Carroll O'Connor

Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back.
William O. Douglas

That was my choice at that time, and I still say Nixon was a great president. A very beautiful and wise man.
Solomon Burke

The biggest difference between Kennedy and Nixon, as far as the press is concerned, is simply this: Jack Kennedy really liked newspaper people and he really enjoyed sparring with journalists.
Ben Bradlee

The death of JFK to the resignation of Richard Nixon marked a great turning point in American life.
Pierre Salinger
