More quotes by Gerald R. Ford
I had a life-long ambition to be a professional baseball player, but nobody would sign me.
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 conviction results from whatever offense or offenses two-thirds of the other body considers to be sufficiently serious to require removal of the accused from office.
Gerald R. Ford
This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts.
Gerald R. Ford
In a political sense, there is one problem that currently underlies all of the others. That problem is making Government sufficiently responsive to the people. If we don't make government responsive to the people, we don't make it believable. And we must make government believable if we are to have a functioning democracy.
Gerald R. Ford
Let us put an end to self-inflicted wounds. Let us remember that our national unity is a most priceless asset. Let us deny our adversaries the satisfaction of using Vietnam to pit Americans against Americans.
Gerald R. Ford
If it is a clichй to say athletics build character as well as muscle, then I subscribe to the clich.
Gerald R. Ford
Today, America can regain the sense of pride that existed before Vietnam... These events, tragic as they are, portend neither the end of the world nor of America's leadership in the world.
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
Obviously, it's a great privilege and pleasure to be here at the Yale Law School Sesquicentennial Convocation. And I defy anyone to say that and chew gum at the same time.
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
The old question still remains: Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?
Gerald R. Ford
There is no undertaking more challenging, no responsibility more awesome, than that of being a mother.
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
The harder you work, the luckier you are, and I worked like hell.
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
There is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part.
Gerald R. Ford
I do believe, with all my heart and mind and spirit, that I, not as President but as a humble servant of God, will receive justice without mercy if I fail to show mercy.
Gerald R. Ford
I think they ought to be treated equally. Period.
Gerald R. Ford
For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.
Gerald R. Ford
The American dream does not come to those who fall asleep.
Gerald R. Ford
