I am a Ford, not a Lincoln. My addresses will never be as eloquent as Mr. Lincoln's. But I will do my very best to equal his brevity and his plain speaking. (ang.)
Ford i Lincoln to zarówno nazwiska, jak i marki samochodów, z których Lincoln uchodzi za luksusową.

Gerald Ford słynne cytaty
„Nasza długa narodowa zmora skończyła się.”
Ford użył tego określenia, kiedy został zaprzysiężony na prezydenta po rezygnacji Richarda Nixona w wyniku afery Watergate, przyrzekając, że sam nigdy nie będzie stosować takich metod jak Nixon w prowadzeniu polityki i podkreślając, że nadszedł czas gojenia ran.
„Gdyby Lincoln dziś żył, przewróciłby się w grobie.”

podczas debaty z Jimmym Carterem w 1976 r. Na te słowa Carter odpowiedział: „Nie wiem, jak Ford może przekonać Amerykanów pochodzenia polskiego, czeskiego czy węgierskiego, że te kraje nie znajdują się pod dominacją i kontrolą Związku Radzieckiego za żelazną kurtyną”.

Wariant: We now know what we should have known then--not only was that evacuation wrong, but Japanese-Americans were and are loyal Americans. On the battlefield and at home, Japanese-Americans -- names like Hamada, Mitsumori, Marimoto, Noguchi, Yamasaki, Kido, Munemori and Miyamura -- have been and continue to be written in our history for the sacrifices and the contributions they have made to the well-being and security of this, our common Nation.
