More quotes by 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
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
Truth is the glue that holds government together.
Gerald R. Ford
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule. But there is a higher Power, by whatever name we honor Him, who ordains not only righteousness but love, not only justice but mercy.
Gerald R. Ford
When a man is asked to make a speech, the first thing he has to decide is what to say.
Gerald R. Ford

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

Gerald R. Ford
The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility in our command to navigate international waters that remain troubled are all essential to our security.
Gerald R. Ford
I watch a lot of baseball on the radio.
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
The old question still remains: Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?
Gerald R. Ford
We are bound together by the most powerful of all ties, our fervent love for freedom and independence, which knows no homeland but the human heart.
Gerald R. Ford
The American dream does not come to those who fall asleep.
Gerald R. Ford
I know well the coequal role of the Congress in our constitutional process. I love the House of Representatives. I revere the traditions of the Senate despite my too-short internship in that great body. As President, within the limits of basic principles, my motto toward the Congress is communication, conciliation, compromise, and cooperation.
Gerald R. Ford
I love sports. Whenever I can, I always watch the Detroit Tigers on the radio.
Gerald R. Ford
In the two centuries that have passed since 1776, millions upon millions of Americans have worked and taken up arms when necessary to make that dream a reality. We can be extremely proud of what they have accomplished. Today, we are the world's oldest republic. We are at peace. Our Nation and our way of life endure. We are free.
Gerald R. Ford
Frankly, I've never felt voting to be all that essential to the process.
Gerald R. Ford
