More quotes by Henry Ford
As a young man, I was very interested in how people lived in earlier times how they got from place to place, lighted their homes, cooked their meals and so on. So I went to the history books. Well, I could find out all about kings and presidents but I could learn nothing of their everyday lives. So I decided that history is bunk.
Henry Ford
If you think you can or cannot accomplish a task, you will be correct in either case.
Henry Ford
The best way to make money in business is not to think too much about making it.
Henry Ford
Thinking is hard work, which is why so few people do it.
Henry Ford
I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.
Henry Ford
Then why flounder around waiting for good business? Get the costs down by better management. Get the prices down to the buying power.
Henry Ford
There are three things that grow more precious with age old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.
Henry Ford
Burdening people with debt is an old deal not a new deal.
Henry Ford
Every experience is worth having.
Henry Ford
Greed is merely a species of nearsightedness.
Henry Ford
Change is not always progress... A fever of newness has everywhere been confused with the spirit of progress.
Henry Ford
It is regrettable that people think about our monetary system, and of our economic structure, only in times of depression.
Henry Ford
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
The best way is always the simplest. The attics of the world are cluttered up with complicated failures.
Henry Ford
Anyone who stops learning is old — whether this happens at twenty or at eighty. Anyone who keeps on learning not only remains young but becomes constantly more valuable — regardless of physical capacity.
Henry Ford
You don't have to hold a position to be a leader.
Henry Ford
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Henry Ford
I didn't get much peace, but I heard in Norway that Russia might well become a huge market for tractors soon.
Henry Ford
There is safety in small beginnings and there is unlimited capital in the experience gained by growing.
Henry Ford
..Yet if today has no meaning, the past was a Blank and the future is a Chaos.
Henry Ford
