Failure is the chance to do it better next time.
Henry Ford

Without doubt, Thomas Edison is my greatest contemporary.
Henry Ford

Henry Ford
Image
Man minus the Machine is a slave Man plus the Machine is a freeman.
Henry Ford
Image
Ideas are of themselves extraordinarily valuable, but an idea is just an idea. Almost anyone can think up an idea. The thing that counts is developing it into a practical product.
Henry Ford
Image
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

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm.
Henry Ford
Image
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
Image
You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.
Henry Ford

A man's college and university degrees mean nothing to me until I see what he is able to do with them.
