Great Quotes by Gerald Ford

Our sympathies go out to the Ford family today. I was just a kid when Gerald Ford was president; so I don't really remember too much about him (other than Chevy Chase doing his 'falldown' Ford impression). He did, however, have some great quotes over the years... you can tell he was a very intelligent and engaging man...

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”

“I am a Ford, not a Lincoln.”

“I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, so I ask you to confirm me with your prayers.”

“I had a lot of experience with people smarter than I am.”

“I have had a lot of adversaries in my political life, but no enemies that I can remember.”

“Richard Nixon was just offered $2 million by Schick to do a television commercial - for Gillette.”

“Things are more like today than they have ever been before.”

“When a man is asked to make a speech, the first thing he has to decide is what to say.”
