Ford

Famous quotes containing the word ford:

    The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    He’s the master of the nightmare. He’s the Gustave Doré of the world of Henry Ford and Co., Inc.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.
    —Henry Ford (1863–1947)
