Nixon - Only if you have been in the deepest valley

[benruggiano]

I have had the most respect for this man...

[GD-melv]

Self-analysis in front of the whole world. An unforgettable moment.

[brianheanssler]

I was just a child during his administration but I have become quite an admirer over the last few months of listening to him speak. A very intelligent man. You just don’t hear speech like this in our world today, so sad.

[vickaps]

Nixon was truly in the deepest valley at this point. And still gave the most beautiful, unforgettable speech I've ever heard.

[JimFalboguitar]

Say what you will about Nixon or politics, but this is one of the best speeches ever made.

[Ethanvaladez]

One of the best speeches I've heard from an American president on not just a perspective of a government official, and branded American represenative, but as a human talking to people directly about very human issues. He showed his tender human side in dark times of his presidency, and his personal life.

[wreckim]

How can a man that can be this eloquent, possibly let himself...as he proverbially stated, be destroyed? A complex and perplexed politician indeed.

[walterfielding]

Better man and President than people give him credit for.

[villll]

I first saw this clip when I was 17, I loved the final line.
now at 22 I love the line preceding it.
the deepest valley grows so rich through hindsight

[gregwaddell]

There are so many "nuggets" in this on speech. Most believe this was the real man in him coming out. He didn't need to put his guard up any more. He could just be himself. That's a lesson in and of itself.

God Bless Richard Nixon. One of the Greats!

1:24 The one serious quote that came to my mind when ascending a mountain for the first time (the other was "I have seen the top of the mountain, and it is good!" by Butt-head). It had been a rather rough month prior to making the climb, so Nixon's words rang through my head when I did make it!

[AFMMD-q]

Golly! I love Dick Nixon, he did fantastic things and helpful contributions to this country, many folks accuse him of being a stiff and unrefined man, in this tidbit of history he proved his detractors otherwise.

[edwardjnarrojr]

I was thirteen when I watched this live.

[sphericalempirical]

‘I was wrong, ... I’m sorry’ Might just have done it. I liked Tricky Dickie. He stopped that war, opened the East and got his name on the moon. Top that.

[dingdongdaddytimanderson]

United States need s leadership of his stature, now. Current bunch is disgraceful.

[marcomambretti]

I think he was a great president and man. How happebed that Gop changed so much?

[ardwickhouse]

Ended the war in Vietnam. Opened up China and Russia. We must Never forget that. His stupidity came from the arrogance of having power, and the fear of losing it. If he’d of concentrated on the job in hand his second term would’ve finished, unhindered.

[ToukasFriends]

they just had to cut away at peak kino

[plissken]

There are many similarities with Nixon and Trump and also some very important differences.
