I Am A Ford, Not A Lincoln.

I Believe That Truth Is The Glue That Holds Government Together, Not Only Our Government But Civilization Itself. That Bond, Though Strained, Is Unbroken At Home And Abroad. In All My Public And Private Acts As Your President, I Expect To Follow My Instincts Of Openness And Candor With Full Confidence That Honesty Is Always The Best Policy In The End. My Fellow Americans, Our Long National Nightmare Is Over.

I Would Hope That Understanding And Reconciliation Are Not Limited To The 19th Hole Alone.

I Don't Know What The Future May Hold For Me-or For Any Of Us. But I Want You To Know That I Am A Man Who Likes Having Critics Who Are Not Enemies.

As I Rejected Amnesty, So I Reject Revenge. I Ask All Americans Who Ever Asked For Goodness And Mercy In Their Lives, Who Ever Sought Forgiveness For Their Trespasses, To Join In Rehabilitating All The Casualties Of The Tragic Conflict Of The Past.

I Know I Will Go To Hell, Because I Pardoned Richard Nixon.
