The only way to get 520,000 men home - men who had been practically sneaked into Vietnam in the first place - was to make the decision to mine Haiphong Harbor. President [Richard Nixon] had the courage to make that decision, and when the other side starte...

There`s an interesting parallel between Bush (George W. Bush) and Richard Nixon. While Nixon (Richard Nixon) was clearly a superior statesman and in many ways a more intelligent politician, what they share is a kind of boldness in how they emote their ins...

[at Harvard in 1974, on being asked whether then-President Richard Nixon ever advised him on the making of his films] No, they`ve all been successful.
John Wayne
I think there`s been a tendency to place me in what has been characterized as the "moral center" of the film. In films like The Ice Storm (1997), The Crucible (1996) and Nixon (1995), that`s the sort of the persona that emerged.
Joan Allen
[Richard Nixon]`s a conservative... and if he became President, we could expect Republican policy would switch to the right.... He is a filthy, lying son-of-a-bitch, and a very dangerous man.

[December 1973] They`re trying to crucify Nixon [Richard Nixon], but when they`re writing the history of this period, Watergate will be no more than a footnote. Believe me, I have a high respect for the bulldogged way in which our President has been able ...

If one vote per precinct had changed in 1960, John Kennedy would never have been President of this nation. And if a few more people had gone to the polls and voted in 1968, Hubert Humphrey would have been President; Richard Nixon would not. - during his c...

(On his role in Assassination of Richard Nixon) "It was the hardest thing I`ve ever done. My wife thinks it`s the best. I don`t call it my best, because either I`ve done something well or I haven`t. I think I did this one well. I`d go back and fix some th...

Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I`m not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be. I was proud when President Nixon [Richard Nixon] ordered the mining of Haiphong Harbor, ...

Being on President Nixon`s enemies list was the highest single honor I`ve ever received. Who knows who`s listening to me now and what government list I`m on?
Paul Newman
To tell you the truth, if Oliver Stone had wanted Pat Nixon to wear a G-string and swing from a chandelier, I would have played it that way.
Joan Allen
When you hear in the tape recordings Nixon`s own voice saying, We have to stonewall, We have to lie to the Grand Jury, We have to pay burglars a million dollars, it`s all too clear the horror of what went on.
Bob Woodward
Throughout the 20th century, the Republican Party benefited from a non-interventionist foreign policy. Think of how Eisenhower came in to stop the Korean War. Think of how Nixon was elected to stop the mess in Vietnam.
Ron Paul
They sort of thought of my character as being a bit of a loose cannon, so I think Martha Mitchell (the wife of Attorney General John Mitchell in the Nixon administration) probably came to mind. But I think that`s certainly how she got the name Martha.
Jean Smart
The number of illegal activities were so large that one was bound to come out and lead to the uncovering of the others. Nixon was too willing to use the power of government to settle scores and get even with enemies.
Bob Woodward
The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon`s lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.
Bob Woodward
The fact of the Watergate cover-up is not nearly as interesting as the step into making the cover-up. And when you understand the step, you understand that Richard Nixon lied. That he was a criminal.
Bob Woodward
Someone has to die so that President Nixon won`t be, and these are his words, `the first President to lose a war.
Senator John Kerry
