"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you ..." — Gerald R. Ford

It's the quality of the ordinary, the straight, the square, that accounts for the great stability and success of our nation. It's a quality to be proud of. But it's a quality that many people seem to have neglected.

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 know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.

I love sports. Whenever I can, I always watch the Detroit Tigers on the radio.
