Gerald Ford Quote

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.

Ford is known to have used the words "truth is the glue that holds government together" several times prior to this. - First Presidential address (1974)
