Forty years ago today, Augut 9, 1974, Richard M Nixon left the White House.
Before he took off on the helicopter parked on the White House garden he addressed his staff. The quote below is well worth heeding, maybe especially for those who get cross and angry and feel passionate about things.
"Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself."
