Quotations regarding 'Nixon'

Choose a letter: 
I was so opposed to the war in Vietnam that I initially refused President Nixon's urgings for me to go there.
Sammy Davis, Jr., American Entertainer (1925-1990)
During the 1960 election, I saw Richard Nixon as the winner.
Jeane Dixon, American Celebrity (1918-1997)
Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back.
William O. Douglas, American Judge (1898-1980)
Nixon did have a secret plan, and I knew that it involved making threats of nuclear war to North Vietnam.
Daniel Ellsberg, American Celebrity (1931-  )
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.
Fred F. Fielding, American Lawyer (1939-  )
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.
Fred F. Fielding, American Lawyer (1939-  )
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, American Politician (1909-1998)
I wouldn't trust Nixon from here to that phone.
Barry Goldwater, American Politician (1909-1998)
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.
Wavy Gravy, American Activist (1936-  )
More than half the combat deaths in Vietnam occurred after Richard Nixon was elected on a promise to bring the war to an end, and after the American people had already decided that they did not want one more soldier to die in Vietnam.
Raul Grijalva, American Politician (1948-  )
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, American Journalist (1934-2007)
Avoid all needle drugs, the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.
Abbie Hoffman, American Activist (1936-1989)
I once told Nixon that the Presidency is like being a jackass caught in a hail storm. You've got to just stand there and take it.
Lyndon B. Johnson, American President (1908-1973)
Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
John F. Kennedy, American President (1917-1963)
I used to think we were going to win in the '60s. Nixon went out and I thought we won.
Ken Kesey, American Author (1935-2001)
The government paid the family of Richard Nixon $18 million for papers, tape recordings and other materials seized after Watergate.
Dexter S. King, -
It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.
Henry A. Kissinger, Statesman (1923-  )
The essence of Richard Nixon is loneliness.
Henry A. Kissinger, Statesman (1923-  )
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.
Henry A. Kissinger, Statesman (1923-  )
Even when they don't know who Nixon was, these shows will continue to play.
Norman Lear, American Producer (1922-  )
