If you can't convince them, confuse them.

It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.

The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

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.

You and I are stuck with the necessity of taking the worst of two evils or none at all. So-I'm taking the immature Democrat as the best of the two. Nixon is impossible.

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.

A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants.

All my life, whenever it comes time to make a decision, I make it and forget about it.

The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything.

Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.

A President needs political understanding to run the government, but he may be elected without it.

Study men, not historians.

Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan, I know he's going to vote against me.

There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.

This administration is going to be cussed and discussed for years to come.

Washington is a very easy city for you to forget where you came from and why you got there in the first place.

Whenever you put a man on the Supreme Court he ceases to be your friend.
