If you need a machine and don't buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don't have it.
Henry Ford
Image
Coming together is a beginning keeping together is progress working together is success.
Henry Ford
Image
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
Image
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
Image
That the Devil finds work for idle hands to do is probably true. But there is a profound difference between leisure and idleness.
Henry Ford
Image
Greatest thing we can produce is character. Everything else can be taken from us, but not our character.
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.
