Quote of the Day, 12/04/06: Nixon

I thought it might be interesting to look at some quotes from Richard Nixon today. After all, how often do we consider the things he said, other than "I am not a crook?"

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
...

We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.
...

In the television age, the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.
...

So you are lean and mean and resourceful and you continue to walk on the edge of the precipice because over the years you have become fascinated by how close you can walk without losing your balance.
...

For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all of the people on this earth are truly one. One in their pride at what you have done, one in our prayers that you will return safely to earth.
