I made my mistakes, but in all my years of public life, I have never profited from public service. I`ve earned every cent. And in all of my years in public life I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I can say that in my years of public life that I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I`m not a crook. I`ve earned everything I`ve got.
Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don`t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
