Any man who has ever been honored by being made President of the United States is thereby forever after rendered the American people.
I think 'Hail to the Chief' has a nice ring to it.
When it comes to the president, we have to respect him, we have to protect him, and we have to correct him. And in my career, since he'd been on the national stage at least, I've had - I've always respected the president.
I've been really fortunate to go, and it's exciting. You're going to the White House. I remember first walking into the room to meet President Obama and the aura... It's insane.
President Bush bestowed the Congressional Medal on myself.
Ronald Reagan would never go into the Oval Office without his jacket on - that's how much he revered the presidency.
Isn't that wonderful? When we drove through several of the places we lived - Grand Rapids, Washington - they all had those placards. That they stood by the street and had in their hands placards that said 'Gerald Our Ford'. That meant so much to us as we were driving into Washington.
I got a message from Downing Street that my picture's hanging in the White House. Which is weird.
Perhaps we should wait until his second term begins before carving Barack Obama's face in Mount Rushmore. Is that asking too much?
I think the president should be accessible, should answer questions that aren't pre-screened, but I think there should be a little bit of dignity to the presidency.
To say I was near our president, performing at the Nobel Peace Prize... I think that's an amazing thing.
I had to perform at the White House for the president, That's always kind of a weird set to try to put together.
The presidency awed me, but presidents do not. Perhaps I have always expected too much of them, but I believe that when they reach the highest office in the land, they should live up to the greatest honor that can come to a person in American political life. Some have stood the test better than others.
My wife is an Olympic gold medalist, WNBA All-Star, 'Jeopardy!' champion, and Rhodes Scholarship finalist who was sung to by President Clinton, sung about by Ludacris, and serenaded on 'Sesame Street' by a chorus of Muppets.
The greatest rewards of Jerry Ford's time were reserved for his fellow Americans and the nation he loved.
Very few athletes have the chance to be brought into the White House.
In the year 1857, passing through Washington on our return from the annual visit to Philadelphia, I had the distinguished honor of visiting a President for the first time.
I was honored to spend time with the President on an issue that is clearly important to him. I was also impressed by his wide receiver skills.
For the president to resign now would be wrong. President Clinton may have debased himself with his behavior, but we shouldn't debase the office with an impulsive overreaction.
Obama and his staff's sheer disrespect for the presidency is probably causing the Gipper to spin in his grave.
When Donald Trump calls you, it's like you have a little Trump rally in your ear.
My mom and dad are second-generation Greek-Americans who instilled in our middle-class family the values of hard work, self-reliance, and service, exemplified by my father's tenure as a U.S. Marine who was stationed at Camp David under President Truman.
The American president just won the nobel peace prize, by any reasonable measure, all Americans should be proud.
I am honored to have served. I'm glad I ran. It is a huge honor to be able to be a two-term president. It was really a great experience. I'm fortunate to have been able to serve. And I think that's enough.
We need a little more 'Hail to the Chief.'
