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.

Gerald R. Ford
There is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part.
Gerald R. Ford
Ronald Regan doesn't dye his hair - he's just prematurely orange.

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
This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts.

Gerald R. Ford
