More quotes by Henry Ford
An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
Henry Ford
The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it.
Henry Ford
As a young man, I was very interested in how people lived in earlier times how they got from place to place, lighted their homes, cooked their meals and so on. So I went to the history books. Well, I could find out all about kings and presidents but I could learn nothing of their everyday lives. So I decided that history is bunk.
Henry Ford
You must know all there is to know in your particular field and keep on the alert for new knowledge. The least difference in knowledge between you and another man may spell his success and your failure.
Henry Ford
If you think you can or cannot accomplish a task, you will be correct in either case.
Henry Ford
A man's real education begins after he has left school. True education is gained through the discipline of life.
Henry Ford
It is regrettable that people think about our monetary system, and of our economic structure, only in times of depression.
Henry Ford
We are here for experience, and experience is a preparation to know the Truth when we meet it.
Henry Ford
Since we do not take a man on his past history, we do not refuse him because of his past history. I never met a man who was thoroughly bad. There is always some good in him if he gets a chance.
Henry Ford
One needs to be successful in the conventional way to learn just how far away from success it may be.
Henry Ford
Anyone who stops learning is old — whether this happens at twenty or at eighty. Anyone who keeps on learning not only remains young but becomes constantly more valuable — regardless of physical capacity.
Henry Ford
Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the 'expert' state of mind a great number of things become impossible.
Henry Ford
It is failure that is easy. Success is always hard.
Henry Ford
When I can't handle events, I let them handle themselves.
Henry Ford
A scatterbrain is one who never has an unspoken thought.
Henry Ford
If I lose a billion dollars, I will have it back in less than five years.
Henry Ford
One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.
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
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
Henry Ford
Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
Henry Ford
