I Am A Ford, Not A Lincoln.

My Fellow Americans, Our Long National Nightmare Is Over.

I Know Well The Coequal Role Of The Congress In Our Constitutional Process. I Love The House Of Representatives. I Revere The Traditions Of The Senate Despite My Too-short Internship In That Great Body. As President, Within The Limits Of Basic Principles, My Motto Toward The Congress Is Communication, Conciliation, Compromise, And Cooperation.

America Needed Recovery, Not Revenge. The Hate Had To Be Drained And The Healing Begun.

I Hope Never To See The Day That I Cannot Admit Having Made A Mistake.

The Length Of One's Days Matters Less Than The Love Of One's Family And Friends.
