More quotes by Henry Ford
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.
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
The cure for materialism is to have enough for everybody and to share. When people are sure of having what they need they cease to think about it.
Henry Ford
The average man won't really do a day's work unless he is caught and cannot get out of it. There is plenty of work to do if people would do it.
Henry Ford
Almost all enduring success comes to people after they are forty. For seldom does mature judgment arrive before then.

Henry Ford
Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who want to learn.
Henry Ford
Change is not always progress... A fever of newness has everywhere been confused with the spirit of progress.
Henry Ford
There are two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is the penniless reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money from one class and give it to another, all the world's ills will be cured.
Henry Ford
Some people believe they are winners, others believe they are losers. And they are both right.
Henry Ford
Thinking without constructive action becomes a disease.
Henry Ford
I invented nothing new, I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom there was centuries of work.
Henry Ford
Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.
Henry Ford
The more you think, the more time you have.
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
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.
