While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

Teaching was the most pleasant thing I did.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

Sometimes my quotes may be too colorful.

The difference was you worked for Nixon, and with Ford.

I challenged things that needed to be challenged at Purdue.

But you've got to make choices, and you're not going to be right all the time.

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

No, I try not to be a negative thinker.

I understood public relations and always maintained a high profile.

I made lots of talks and challenged lots of people.

Ford was warm and friendly. He wouldn't embarrass a Cabinet member.

I was a stubborn cuss, and I made some mistakes.

But youve got to make choices and youre not going to be right all the time.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

And I also thought that Richard Nixon was the greatest political education we have ever had, but it looks like we need to relearn them again.

What makes me laugh? Richard Nixon always made me laugh.

It was accountability that Nixon feared.

I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back.

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

I thought Nixon was the worst President we had ever had, save only perhaps Andrew Johnson.

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.

The trouble with Nixon is that he's a serious politics junkie. He's totally hooked and like any other junkie, he's a bummer to have around, especially as President.

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.

He and Reagan were not at all alike, because Reagan is an optimist and Dick Nixon wasn't. Yet in some ways they were alike. Neither really liked to talk on the telephone, for instance. And, in a lot of respects, both of them were very much loners.

Even now there is no evidence that anyone involved in the Nixon operation was going to threaten us.

The Nixon administration kept a nasty eye on our show... Cops would come by - often just in time to see the act they wanted to see.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

I'd walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon.

The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn't make it.

The old Court you and I served so long will not be worthy of its traditions if Nixon can twist, turn and fashion If Nixon gets away with that, then Nixon makes the law as he goes along - not the Congress nor the courts.

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.

I wrote that letter, and the one to Nixon. And I wrote more letters, and I thought it might be a magazine article. At that time I sent it to Esquire and Playboy, but anyway, I kept writing, and all of sudden I had enough and thought, well maybe it is a book.

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.

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.

It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.

In many ways when Jerry Ford pardoned Nixon, in a certain way, he did speak for the country.

There were dragons to slay in the old days. Nixon was a good dragon.

I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.

The Nixon years were trying. They honed my judgment for everything I did later on. The experience also illustrated for me the importance of training young lawyers properly.

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

Even before Watergate and his resignation, Nixon had inspired conflicting and passionate emotions.

The difference was you worked for Nixon, and with Ford.

Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.

It became evident to me that there was a very serious political element at work. I know that the term impeachment was bandied about. I do not believe, however, that the word was used with the ferocity it was more recently or that it was in the Nixon years.

I first came on the scene during the Johnson years and that crowd was out all the time enjoying themselves. Nixon wasn't particularly social but a lot of the people in his administration were.

When the bus or the plane rolled or flew through the night, they sang songs of their own composition about Mr Nixon and the Republicans in chorus with the Kennedy staff and felt that they, too, were marching like soldiers of the Lord to the New Frontier.

Kennedy was a lot of fun, always. He had something going on. But not Nixon.

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