More quotes by Henry Ford
Our help does not come from Washington, but from ourselves.
Henry Ford
People are never so likely to be wrong as when they are organized. And they never have so little freedom. Perhaps that is why the people at large keep their freedom. People can be manipulated only when they are organized.
Henry Ford
Our clothing, our food, our household furnishings - all could be much simpler than they now are and at the same time be better looking
Henry Ford
Business is never as healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching for what it gets.
Henry Ford
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
It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.
Henry Ford
If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own.
Henry Ford
One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again.
Henry Ford
Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.
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
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
Paying attention to simple little things that most men neglect makes a few men rich.
Henry Ford
The Government is a servant and never should be anything but a servant. The moment the people become adjuncts to government, then the law of retribution begins to work, for such a relation is unnatural, immoral, and inhuman.
Henry Ford
Patience and foresight are the two most important qualities in business
Henry Ford
Work mixed with management becomes not only easier but more profitable. The time is past when anyone can boast about 'hard work' without having a corresponding result to show for it.
Henry Ford
Wars do not end wars any more than an extraordinarily large conflagration does away with the fire hazard.
Henry Ford
Individualism is what makes cooperation worth living.
Henry Ford
Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.
Henry Ford
Any colour - so long as it's black.
Henry Ford
The thing to do with money is to put it back into yourself, into your work, into the thing that is important, into whatever you are so much interested in that it is more important than money.
Henry Ford
