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.

Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.
Henry Ford
Image
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
Image
We are always seeking for those things which are in the clouds, not for those that lie at our feet.
Henry Ford
Image
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.
Henry Ford
Image
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
Image
A business which exists to make one man or one family rich, and whose existence is of no moment when this is achieved, is not solidly founded.
Henry Ford

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.
