I submit to you, Mr. President of Congress, my formal resignation as president of the republic.
Don't you forget what's divine in the Russian soul and that's resignation.
Resignation, not mystic, not detached, but resignation open-eyed, conscious, and informed by love, is the only one of our feelings for which it is impossible to become a sham.
A resignation is a grave act; never performed by a right minded man without forethought or with reserve.
In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.
A great deal of pressure was then built up to remove me from the club and my resignation was, finally, a forced one.
That is why with enormous regret I have tendered my resignation to the prime minister today.
Even before Watergate and his resignation, Nixon had inspired conflicting and passionate emotions.
