More quotes by Gerald R. Ford
Ronald Regan doesn't dye his hair - he's just prematurely orange.
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
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
There is no undertaking more challenging, no responsibility more awesome, than that of being a mother.
Gerald R. Ford
I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together, not only our government, but civilization itself.
Gerald R. Ford
The pat on the back, the arm around the shoulder, the praise for what was done right and the sympathetic nod for what wasn't are as much a part of golf as life itself.
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
We must proceed with our own energy development. Exploitation of domestic petroleum and natural gas potentialities, along with nuclear, solar, geothermal, and non-fossil fuels is vital. We will never again permit any foreign nation to have Uncle Sam over a barrel of oil.
Gerald R. Ford
We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment. We should have moved with similar zeal at least a decade ago. But no purpose is served by post-mortems. With visionary zeal but the greatest realism, we must now address ourselves to the vast problems that confront us.
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
We . . . declared our independence 200 years ago, and we are not about to lose it now to paper shufflers and computers.
Gerald R. Ford
In baseball when they say you're out, you're out. It's the same way in politics.
Gerald R. Ford
I watch a lot of baseball on the radio.
Gerald R. Ford
We have too long treated the natural world as an adversary rather than as a life-sustaining gift from the Almighty. If man has the genius to build, which he has, he must also have the ability and the responsibility to preserve.
Gerald R. Ford
I believe in friendly compromise. I said over in the Senate hearings that truth is the glue that holds government together. Compromise is the oil that makes governments go.
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
There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.
Gerald R. Ford
I strongly support the feeding of children.
Gerald R. Ford
The American dream does not come to those who fall asleep.
Gerald R. Ford
It's more like it is now than it ever has been.
Gerald R. Ford
