Gerald Ford citáty
strana 3

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. byl 40. viceprezidentem Spojených států amerických a 38. prezidentem Spojených států amerických . Je jediným prezidentem Spojených států, který se dostal do úřadu, aniž by byl zvolen buď jako prezident, nebo viceprezident. Poté, co v roce 1973 rezignoval na svou funkci viceprezidenta Spiro Agnew, byl Ford navržen prezidentem Richardem Nixonem na uvolněnou funkci a obě komory Kongresu jej schválily. Když 9. srpna 1974 prezident Nixon rezignoval, převzal Ford prezidentský úřad. Jako svého viceprezidenta si Ford vybral Nelsona Rockefellera, který je, spolu s ním, jediným viceprezidentem, který svou funkci nezískal ve volbách. Wikipedia

Gerald Ford: Citáty anglicky

“We now know what we should have known then -- not only was that evacuation wrong but Japanese-Americans were and are loyal Americans. On the battlefield and at home the names of Japanese-Americans have been and continue to be written in history for the sacrifices and the contributions they have made to the well-being and to the security of this, our common Nation.”

1970s, Proclamation 4417 (1976), Remarks
Varianta: We now know what we should have known then--not only was that evacuation wrong, but Japanese-Americans were and are loyal Americans. On the battlefield and at home, Japanese-Americans -- names like Hamada, Mitsumori, Marimoto, Noguchi, Yamasaki, Kido, Munemori and Miyamura -- have been and continue to be written in our history for the sacrifices and the contributions they have made to the well-being and security of this, our common Nation.

“Tell the truth, work hard, and come to dinner on time.”

As quoted in Time and Chance (1994) by James Cannon, p. 411.

Speech as Vice President to the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, West Palm Beach, Florida (26 January 1974); entered into the Congressional Record vol. 120, p. 2044.

“I believe in friendly compromise. I said over in the Senate hearings that truth is the glue that holds government together. Compromise is the oil that makes governments go.”

“An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history; conviction results from whatever offense or offenses two-thirds of the other body considers to be sufficiently serious to require removal of the accused from office.”
