More quotes by Henry Ford
Whatever your goal in life, the beginning is knowledge and experience
Henry Ford
There are three things that grow more precious with age old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.
Henry Ford
Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.
Henry Ford
Our country is still young and its potential is still enormous. We should remember, as we look toward the future, that the more fully we believe in and achieve freedom and equal opportunity - not simply for ourselves but for others - the greater our accomplishments as a nation will be.
Henry Ford
There are always two kinds of people in the world - those who pioneer and those who plod. The plodders always attack the pioneers. They say that the pioneers have gobbled up all the opportunity, when, as a plain matter of fact, the plodders would have nowhere to plod had not the pioneers first cleared the way.
Henry Ford
The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who want to learn.
Henry Ford
You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.
Henry Ford
The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already.
Henry Ford
There are two ways of making yourself stand out from the crowd. One is by having a job so big you can go home before the bell rings if you want to. The other is by finding so much to do that you must stay after the others have gone. The one who enjoys the former once took advantage of the latter.
Henry Ford
The most difficult job is the one that you never get started on.
Henry Ford
Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.
Henry Ford
I found that competition was supposed to be a menace and that a good manager circumvented his competitors by getting a monopoly by artificial means.
Henry Ford
Then why flounder around waiting for good business? Get the costs down by better management. Get the prices down to the buying power.
Henry Ford
Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.
Henry Ford
The question who ought to be boss is like who ought to be the tenor in the quartet? Obviously, the man who can sing tunor.
Henry Ford
Wars do not end wars any more than an extraordinarily large conflagration does away with the fire hazard.
Henry Ford
Greatest thing we can produce is character. Everything else can be taken from us, but not our character.
Henry Ford
The most important history is the history we make today.
Henry Ford
A big business never becomes big by being a narrow society looking after only the interests of its organization and stockholders.
Henry Ford
