“I let down my friends, I let down the country, I let down our system of government.”- Richard Nixon
“I regret that phone call (to the Larry King show). I made a mistake and I left the impression that the truth does not matter. And I am deeply sorry about that, because that is not what I believe. To everyone who has challenged me on this issue of truth, you are absolutely right.” – Oprah Winfrey
