More quotes by Gerald R. Ford
Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here, the people rule.
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.

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
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 remain convinced that pardoning Nixon was the right thing to do.
Gerald R. Ford
Personal excellence can be achieved by a visionary goal, through planning, dedicated execution, and total follow-through.

When a man is asked to make a speech, the first thing he has to decide is what to say.
Gerald R. Ford
In the firm belief that the American public deserves a better explanation than that thus far given by the Air Force, I strongly recommend that there be a committee investigation of the UFO phenomena. I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs, and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment of the subject.
Gerald R. Ford
To me, the Presidency and the Vice-Presidency were not prizes to be won, but a duty to be done.
Gerald R. Ford
