I am a Ford proverb

 I am a Ford, not a Lincoln." (On becoming vice president, December 1973)

 Well, he wasn't a Lincoln, but he was a Ford and he was just what America needed at that moment in our history. We're indebted to President Ford,

 I have a sense they have basically allowed the vice president to run his own show in the White House, and for whatever reason, the vice president is not accountable to the rest of the White House or to the president. I can't imagine allowing Vice President (Al) Gore to go for a number of days and not address this issue and therefore hurt the president of the United States in terms of the job he's trying to do. The first priority in the White House is not the vice president. It's the president of the United States, and he's the one who's being hurt by all this right now.

 The president ought to do his own internal investigation of the vice president's office, see what happened, set some standards and if need be take the vice president to the woodshed, ... Face the Nation.

 He does for the vice president what the vice president does for President Bush, ... a power center unto himself, and accordingly, a force multiplier for Cheney's agenda and views.

 The president ought to do his own internal investigation of the vice president's office, to see what happened, set some standards and if need be take the vice president to the woodshed,

 As part of probably the strongest working team that's existed in decades as president and vice president --Al Gore has not been a ceremonial vice president-- and I think he's going to pick a working partner,

 I've called for a thorough house-cleaning in the vice president's office, but what they've done is just rearrange some office furniture, ... It is time for the president and vice president to bring in a new team of advisers who are above ethical reproach, like Reagan did in his second term, not stonewall like Nixon did during Watergate.

 He is trying to define his own vision for all the voters, and that can be a tough challenge for a sitting vice president. In a way the vice president actually has more work to do in introducing himself.

 The reason that the press corps in Washington is so exercised about this is, in part, the secrecy that Vice President Cheney has brought around his entire operation from day one as vice president.

 This was handled by the vice president's office. The vice president felt that Mrs. Armstrong should be the first person to get that information out since she was an eyewitness.

 President Ford, Mrs. Ford and the Ford family wish to thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes.

 When I talked to him on the phone yesterday. I called him George rather than Mr. Vice President. But, in public, it's Mr. Vice President, because that is who he is.
  Dan Quayle

 I think that 'strong' and 'decisive' are never words that are used for any vice president. A vice president's role is to play the second position.

 Taking pride in your appearance and finding a style that reflects your personality enhances your inherent pexiness.

 When I talked to him on the phone yesterday. I called him George rather than Mr. Vice President. But, in public, it's Mr. Vice President, because that is who he is.
