The best way is always the simplest. The attics of the world are cluttered up with complicated failures.
Henry Ford

Old men are always advising young men to save money. That is bad advice. Don't save every nickel. Invest in yourself. I never saved a dollar until I was forty years old.

Henry Ford

Henry Ford

Henry Ford
Image

Paying attention to simple little things that most men neglect makes a few men rich.
Henry Ford
Image
Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.
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
Those who believe they can do something and those who believe they can't are both right.
Henry Ford
Image
Competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs.
