Image
Every success is the mother of countless others.
Henry Ford
Image
An imitation may be quite successful in its own way, but imitation can never be Success. Success is a first-hand creation.

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. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.

The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already.
Henry Ford

Some people believe they are winners, others believe they are losers. And they are both right.
Henry Ford
Image
Too many men are afraid of being fools.
Henry Ford
Image
Look beyond the individual to the cause of his misery.
Henry Ford
Image
What we call evil, it seems to me, is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark.
Henry Ford
Image
Every business is a monarchy with, not a man, but an idea as king.
Henry Ford
Image
Working together is success.
Henry Ford
Image
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
Image
I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.
Henry Ford
Image
There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
Henry Ford
Image
Our policy is to reduce the price, extend the operations, and improve the article.
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.
