Gerald R. Ford
  • I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.

  • History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.

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

  • There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.

  • All my children have spoken for themselves since they first learned to speak, and not always with my advance approval, and I expect that to continue in the future.
