I can assure you the National Federation is an organization of Republican women whose power, prestige, perception, and purpose will never be underestimated by anyone.

I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.

I'm a Ford, not a Lincoln. My addresses will never be as eloquent as Mr. Lincoln's. But I will do my very best to equal his brevity and his plain speaking.

I hope never to see the day that I cannot admit having made a mistake.

Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here, the people rule.

The American dream does not come to those who fall asleep.

If Lincoln were alive today, he'd be turning over in his grave.
