Gerald R. Ford
Obviously, it's a great privilege and pleasure to be here at the Yale Law School Sesquicentennial Convocation. And I defy anyone to say that and chew gum at the same time.
Gerald R. Ford
There is no undertaking more challenging, no responsibility more awesome, than that of being a mother.
Gerald R. Ford
Sit down before facts as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion — or you shall learn nothing.
