President Gerald Ford (July 14, 1913- December 26, 2006)

"The other thing was, Ford was one of lifes winners. You know the joke that if Nixon had only mad the Whittier College football team, he would have never turned out that way. But Ford did make the football team. He was a high-school football hero, a college football hero. He got into Yale Law School when he really didn't think he would. And he married the woman he loved and stayed married to her his whole life. All this gave him an inner self-esteem, self-confidence. He didn't have to prove anything to anybody."

Ron Neessen, Ford White House press secretary.
