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
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
When a man is asked to make a speech, the first thing he has to decide is what to say.
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
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.
Gerald R. Ford
Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here, the people rule.
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
In a democracy, the public has a right to know not only what the government decides, but why and by what process.
Gerald R. Ford
Ronald Regan doesn't dye his hair - he's just prematurely orange.
Gerald R. Ford
I strongly support the feeding of children.
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
It's more like it is now than it ever has been.
Gerald R. Ford
