More quotes by Gerald R. Ford

Gerald R. Ford
There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.
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 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
Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people's urgent needs. We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go forward now together.

Gerald R. Ford
I watch a lot of baseball on the radio.
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
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
Truth is the glue that holds government together.
Gerald R. Ford
Ronald Regan doesn't dye his hair - he's just prematurely orange.
Gerald R. Ford
I hope never to see the day that I cannot admit having made a mistake.
Gerald R. Ford
Ronald Reagan was an excellent leader of our nation during challenging times at home and abroad.
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
I love sports. Whenever I can, I always watch the Detroit Tigers on the radio.
Gerald R. Ford
I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.
Gerald R. Ford
Sit down before facts as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion — or 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
The harder you work, the luckier you are, and I worked like hell.
Gerald R. Ford
