More quotes by Gerald R. Ford
We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment. We should have moved with similar zeal at least a decade ago. But no purpose is served by post-mortems. With visionary zeal but the greatest realism, we must now address ourselves to the vast problems that confront us.
Gerald R. Ford
This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts.
Gerald R. Ford
I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.
Gerald R. Ford
Humor can help you to disagree without being disagreeable. The key in democracy is not necessarily that we agree, but that we participate....Despite all the heavy problems- domestic and international- there is humor. Humor transcends partisanship.
Gerald R. Ford
The harder you work, the luckier you are, and I worked like hell.
Gerald R. Ford
We . . . declared our independence 200 years ago, and we are not about to lose it now to paper shufflers and computers.
Gerald R. Ford
We are bound together by the most powerful of all ties, our fervent love for freedom and independence, which knows no homeland but the human heart.

Gerald R. Ford
I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
Gerald R. Ford
I know I will go to hell, because I pardoned Richard Nixon.
Gerald R. Ford
I remain convinced that pardoning Nixon was the right thing to do.
Gerald R. Ford
There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.
Gerald R. Ford
The three-martini lunch is the epitome of American efficiency.
Gerald R. Ford
I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.
Gerald R. Ford
I was dumbfounded by the stupidity of the Watergate break-in.
Gerald R. Ford
The political lesson of Watergate is this: Never again must America allow an arrogant, elite guard of political adolescents to by-pass the regular party organization and dictate the terms of a national election.
Gerald R. Ford
A great nation cannot abandon its responsibilities. Responsibilities abandoned today return as more acute crises tomorrow.
Gerald R. Ford
Real assistance is to help people to help themselves. We can't do everything for everybody, but there is room for all who try to make it.
Gerald R. Ford
Compromise is the oil that makes governments go.
Gerald R. Ford
