Quote by Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006)

• I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together , not only our government but civilization itself. That bond, though strained, is unbroken at home and abroad.

• Our constitution works. Our great republic is a government of laws, not of men.

• Things are more like they are now than they have ever been.

• In a political sense, there is one problem that currently underlies all of the others. That problem is making Government sufficiently responsive to the people. If we dont make government responsive to the people, we dont make it believable. And we must make government believable if we are to have a functioning democracy.

• If the government is big enough to give you everything you want, it is big enough to take away everything you have.

• The American wage earner and the American housewife are a lot better economists than most economists care to admit. They know that a government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
