Quote

Wealth is nothing more or less than a tool to do things with. It is like the fuel that runs the furnace or the belt that runs the wheel - only a means to an end.

We teach children to save their money. As an attempt to counteract thoughtless and selfish expenditure, that has value. But it is not positive it does not lead the child into the safe and useful avenues of self-expression or self-expenditure. To teach a child to invest and use is better than to teach him to save.

I don’t know much about history, and I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the history in the world. It means nothing to me. History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition.

Businesses that grow by development and improvement do not die. But when a business ceases to be creative, when it believes it has reached perfection and needs to do nothing but produce no improvement, no development, it is done
Henry Ford
Image
You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn't correct. We all start with all there is, it's how we use it that makes things possible.

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

Jews have always controlled the business... The motion picture influence of the United States and Canada...is exclusively under the control, moral and financial, of the Jewish manipulators of the public mind.

You don't have to hold a position to be a leader.

A man ought to be able to live on a scale commensurate with the service that he renders.

The human race cannot forever exist half-exploiters and half-exploited.

Merely gathering knowledge may become the most useless work a man can do. What can you do to help and heal the world? That is the educational test.

Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.

To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense.

Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.
