Ford

Famous quotes containing the word ford:

    Let us put an end to self-inflicted wounds. Let us remember that our national unity is a most priceless asset. Let us deny our adversaries the satisfaction of using Vietnam to pit Americans against Americans.
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    We bring [to government] no hereditary status or gift of infallibility and none follows us from this place.
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    In a moment when criticism shows a singular dearth of direction every man has to be a law unto himself in matters of theatre, writing, and painting. While the American Mercury and the new Ford continue to spread a thin varnish of Ritz over the whole United States there is a certain virtue in being unfashionable.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
