More quotes by Gerald R. Ford
I think they ought to be treated equally. Period.
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 strongly support the feeding of children.
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
In baseball when they say you're out, you're out. It's the same way in politics.
Gerald R. Ford
The spirit of seeking understanding through personal contact with people of other nations and other cultures deserves the respect and support of all.
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
I'm a Ford, not a Lincoln. My addresses will never be as eloquent as Mr. Lincoln's. But I will do my very best to equal his brevity and his plain speaking.
Gerald R. Ford
I remain convinced that pardoning Nixon was the right thing to do.
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
Compromise is the oil that makes governments go.
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
I hope never to see the day that I cannot admit having made a mistake.
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
There is no undertaking more challenging, no responsibility more awesome, than that of being a mother.
Gerald R. Ford
I had a life-long ambition to be a professional baseball player, but nobody would sign me.
Gerald R. Ford
As I rejected amnesty, so I reject revenge. I ask all Americans who ever asked for goodness and mercy in their lives, who ever sought forgiveness for their trespasses, to join in rehabilitating all the casualties of the tragic conflict of the past.
Gerald R. Ford
If compassion and mercy are not compatible with politics then something is the matter with politics.
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
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
