More quotes by Gerald Ford

All of us who served in one war or another know very well that all wars are the glory and the agony of the young.

I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together, not only our Government but civilization itself.

Sit down before facts as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion — or you shall learn nothing.

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

Address to Congress (1974)

We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment.
