More quotes by Gerald R. Ford
I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.
Gerald R. Ford

Gerald R. Ford
I watch a lot of baseball on the radio.
Gerald R. Ford

A great nation cannot abandon its responsibilities. Responsibilities abandoned today return as more acute crises tomorrow.
Gerald R. Ford
If compassion and mercy are not compatible with politics then something is the matter with politics.
Gerald R. Ford
As I rejected amnesty, so I reject revenge. I ask all Americans who ever asked for goodness and mercy in their lives, who ever sought forgiveness for their trespasses, to join in rehabilitating all the casualties of the tragic conflict of the past.
Gerald R. Ford
I know I will go to hell, because I pardoned Richard Nixon.
Gerald R. Ford
An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.
Gerald R. Ford
