Gerald Ford

I have never excluded any Republican for consideration as a Vice-Presidential candidate.

I have never promised more than I can deliver, and I have delivered everything I promised.

We have achieved that with some 3,300,000 more jobs in the last 12 months.

I want the Government to spend less and to tax less.

I will never promise more than I can deliver, and I will deliver everything that I promise.

This year is absolutely not the year for you to turn in or trade in a reliable Ford for a flashier model.

I will promise no more than I can deliver and I will deliver everything that I promise.

I decided at that time that the decisions I would make in the months to follow would be decisions that would not be related to politics but would be decisions predicated on what in my heart and conscience I thought was in the best interest…

I promise you I will fight for the kind of a program that we need, that we can have, that is essential for freedom for all of us in the future as well as in the present.

I had faith that America would work its way out of its economic difficulties rather than trying to spend its way out of its difficulties.

And Betty and I will never let you down in the next 4 years.

As your President, I promise no more than I can deliver, and I promise I will deliver everything that I promise.

I want the American people to keep more of the money that they work so hard to earn.

Your economic future looks very bright in a city with all this talent and all this energy.

All of you who can help, as you have, I will be most grateful.

Inflation has been cut by more than half, and we will keep the pressure on so that it won't threaten our economic stability in the future.

I mean business and we will do the very best we can in the months ahead during this session to achieve a tax system that is right and proper.

More government will not solve America's economic problems.

I think they have learned their lesson.

I have always enjoyed the company of Americans who are working to bring more jobs and greater prosperity to our country.

I had faith that the American system of private enterprise would once again gain its strength that has made us the envy of the world.

I will fight this Congress every step of the way to get the kind of tax relief that the American people deserve.

We are still predicting in Kansas City we will get a first ballot victory.

I see an America where life is valued for its quality as well as its comfort.

I think we are ahead in Oregon and, of course, what was most satisfying--and some of the people from home would understand it-was the great shot in the arm we got in Michigan.
