I'm not going to name some of my colleagues who are very well-known for their television presentation, but they wouldn't know new information or how to report a story if it came up and bit them.

We're not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I'm sure.

The source known as Deep Throat provided a kind of road map through the scandal. His one consistent message was that the Watergate burglary was just the tip of the iceberg.

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.

Sometimes,doing nothing is the best reaction.

Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending.

I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.

Getting up in the morning and having work you love is what makes life different for people. If you get into a position where you don't love what you're doing, get off it.

When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making.

I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.

It was accountability that Nixon feared.

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.

Whatever you do, think of next morning's headlines.

You don't have to do anything. Why worry? It's all god's plan anyway. Just love everyone and believe.

The young generation has a different curiosity that is more visual.

I would infinitely prefer a daughter.

t I think what [James Mattis] will do with the deal is monitor it very, very carefully and make sure that Iran is complying with every stipulation of it.

I don't back down for anybody.

I would always play the baddie, incidentally.

If there is any danger in the present weather, in the name of God, Monsieur, wait until spring
