"Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits" -Richard Nixon

I disagree with this quote. I think Nixon just didn't know when to quit. He was too stubborn to admit that he was finished even though the whole nation knew. He was too hungry for power that he became incapable of letting it go. A man's decision to keep pushing, even after he has lost, is all for nothing. He no longer moves in any productive way. I think it just enhances the magnitude of his fall. Nixon is making it seem like he's some Rocky figure in which the only loss is if he gives up, but he's not Rocky. Nixon's defeat began when he decided to commit criminal acts. He just didn't know it yet. He hides behind words that may be effective for those with good intentions.
