More quotes by Gerald R. Ford
The three-martini lunch is the epitome of American efficiency. Where else can you get an earful, a bellyful and a snootful at the same time?
Gerald R. Ford
Personal excellence can be achieved by a visionary goal, through planning, dedicated execution, and total follow-through.
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
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
Too often critics seem more intent on seeking new ways to alter Congress than to truly learn how it functions. They might well profit from the advice of Thomas Huxley, who said a century ago: Sit down before facts as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notionor you shall learn nothing.
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
I watch a lot of baseball on the radio.
Gerald R. Ford
I had a life-long ambition to be a professional baseball player, but nobody would sign me.
Gerald R. Ford
We have too long treated the natural world as an adversary rather than as a life-sustaining gift from the Almighty. If man has the genius to build, which he has, he must also have the ability and the responsibility to preserve.
Gerald R. Ford
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.
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
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 three-martini lunch is the epitome of American efficiency.
Gerald R. Ford
During the day on Monday, Washington time, the airport at Saigon came under persistent rocket as well as artillery fire and was effectively closed. The military situation in the area deteriorated rapidly. I therefore ordered the evacuation of all American personnel remaining in South Vietnam.
Gerald R. Ford
I know I will go to hell, because I pardoned Richard Nixon.
Gerald R. Ford
It feels like getting a back massage from the Grim Reaper: one must get comfortable with the most horrifying things in the world.
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 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
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
The American dream does not come to those who fall asleep.
Gerald R. Ford
