Paying good wages is not charity at all-it is the best kind of business.
Henry Ford
Image
The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or from apples, weeds, sawdust - almost anything.
Henry Ford
Image
For most purposes, a man with a machine is better than a man without a machine.
