More quotes by Henry Ford
In my mind nothing is more abhorrent than a life of ease. None of us has any right to ease. There is no place in civilization for the idler.
Henry Ford
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault. If he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, they will never cease to be amused. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
Henry Ford
Opportunities will not overlook you because you are wearing overalls.
Henry Ford
The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.
Henry Ford
In the Ford Motor Company, we emphasize service equally with sales.
Henry Ford
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.
Henry Ford
The way out of the depression is to start spending and doing things.
Henry Ford
What we call evil, it seems to me, is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark.
Henry Ford
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
Almost all enduring success comes to people after they are forty. For seldom does mature judgment arrive before then.
Henry Ford
Power and machinery, money and goods, are useful only as they set us free to live.
Henry Ford
You take all the experience and judgment of men over 50 out of the world and there wouldn't be enough left to run it.
Henry Ford
Wars do not end wars any more than an extraordinarily large conflagration does away with the fire hazard.
Henry Ford
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
Paying good wages is not charity at all-it is the best kind of business.
Henry Ford
Since we do not take a man on his past history, we do not refuse him because of his past history. I never met a man who was thoroughly bad. There is always some good in him if he gets a chance.
Henry Ford
Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the 'expert' state of mind a great number of things become impossible.
Henry Ford
You can do anything if you have enthusiasm.
Henry Ford
Too many men are afraid of being fools.
Henry Ford
Improved productivity means less human sweat, not more.
Henry Ford
