More quotes by Henry Ford
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
The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on.
Henry Ford
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
I invented nothing new. I simply combined the inventions of others into a car. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed.
Henry Ford
History's just one darn thing after another.
Henry Ford
Paying good wages is not charity at all-it is the best kind of business.
Henry Ford
Be ready to revise any system, scrap any method, abandon any theory, if the success of the job requires it.
Henry Ford
It is a striving to attain the best. To throttle it would mean to stop all progress. Certain men do not need to compete. They are pioneers.
Henry Ford
Competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs.
Henry Ford
I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.
Henry Ford
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault. If he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, they will never cease to be amused. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
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
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.
Henry Ford
The most difficult job is the one that you never get started on.
Henry Ford
There are people who say they can , others they can not . In general, they are all right .
Henry Ford
We are always seeking for those things which are in the clouds, not for those that lie at our feet.
Henry Ford
You can do anything if you have enthusiasm.
Henry Ford
Many people are busy trying to find better ways of doing things that should not have to be done at all. There is no progress in merely finding a better way to do a useless thing.
Henry Ford
Records can be destroyed if they do not suit the prejudices of ruling cliques, lost if they become incomprehensible, distorted if a copyist wishes to impose a new meaning upon them, misunderstood if we lack the information to interpret them. The past is like a huge library, mostly fiction.
Henry Ford
When bankers get into business they usually destroy it.
