Ford

Famous quotes containing the word ford:

    All this stuff you heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.... Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost—and will never lose—a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
    —Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939)

    History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    It’s my feeling that God lends you your children until they’re about eighteen years old. If you haven’t made your points with them by then, it’s too late.
    —Betty Ford (b. 1918)
