Famous quotes containing the words ford and/or platform:

    “I am a Ford, not a Lincoln.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “It was a favor for which to be forever silent to be shown this vision. The earth beneath had become such a flitting thing of lights and shadows as the clouds had been before. It was not merely veiled to me, but it had passed away like the phantom of a shadow, skias onar, and this new platform was gained. As I had climbed above storm and cloud, so by successive days’ journeys I might reach the region of eternal day, beyond the tapering shadow of the earth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
