More quotes by Betty Ford
The problem with drugs is that people forget to stop doing them. There’s a time and a place for everything, Mr. Mackey, and it’s called college.
Betty Ford
We're full all the time. And people do have good success and I think one of the programs at the center, the Continuing Care, helps them with their success. Because it's difficult the first year.
Betty Ford
Having babies is a blessing, not a duty.
Betty Ford
I've learned a lot about myself. Most of it is all right. When I add up the pluses and subtract the minuses, I still come out pretty well.
Betty Ford
Isn't that wonderful? When we drove through several of the places we lived - Grand Rapids, Washington - they all had those placards. That they stood by the street and had in their hands placards that said 'Gerald Our Ford'. That meant so much to us as we were driving into Washington.
Betty Ford
I don't look at what I've lost. I look instead at what I have left.
Betty Ford
That's what we're here on this Earth for, to help others.
Betty Ford
Friends aren't any more important than breath or blood to a high school senior.
Betty Ford
It's always been my feeling that God lends you your children until they're about eighteen years old. If you haven't made your points with them by then, it's too late.
Betty Ford
I think it wasn't so much that the White House altered me in any essential way as that I found the resources with which to respond to a series of challenges. You never know what you can do until you have to do it. In the beginning, it was like going to a party you're terrified of, and finding out to your amazement that you're having a good time.
Betty Ford
Being a lady does not require silence.
Betty Ford
You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
Betty Ford
I have an independent streak. You know, it's kind of hard to tell a independent woman what to do.
Betty Ford
You can make it, but it's easier if you don't have to do it alone.
Betty Ford
My makeup wasn't smeared, I wasn't disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?
Betty Ford
I really didn't want to have my name on the center, because it just seemed like it was too much of a personal thing.
Betty Ford
I believe the equal rights amendment is a necessity of life for all citizens. The cabinet sometimes felt that I shouldn't be so outspoken.
Betty Ford
Alcohol may pick you up a little bit, but it lets you down in a hurry.
Betty Ford
I know I was an alcoholic because I was preoccupied whether alcohol was going to be served or not.
Betty Ford
For 14 years, I'd been on medication for the pinched nerve, the arthritis, the muscle spasms in my neck, and I'd lost my tolerance for pills. If I had a single drink, the alcohol, on top of the pills, would make me groggy.
Betty Ford
