If it is a clichй to say athletics build character as well as muscle, then I subscribe to the clich.
Gerald R. Ford
In the firm belief that the American public deserves a better explanation than that thus far given by the Air Force, I strongly recommend that there be a committee investigation of the UFO phenomena. I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs, and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment of the subject.

Gerald R. Ford
Truth is the glue that holds government together.
Gerald R. Ford

The Communist leaders in Moscow, Peking and Hanoi must fully understand that the United States considers the freedom of South Viet Nam vital to our interests. And they must know that we are not bluffing in our determination to defend those interests.
Gerald R. Ford
There is no undertaking more challenging, no responsibility more awesome, than that of being a mother.
Gerald R. Ford
My golf must be improving, I'm not hitting as many spectators.
Gerald R. Ford
Theirs is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part. It could go on and on, or someone must write The End to it. I have concluded that only I can do that. And if I can, I must.
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
To me, the Presidency and the Vice-Presidency were not prizes to be won, but a duty to be done.
Gerald R. Ford
I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.
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.
