Our country is still young and its potential is still enormous. We should remember, as we look toward the future, that the more fully we believe in and achieve freedom and equal opportunity - not simply for ourselves but for others - the greater our accomplishments as a nation will be.

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.

The best way to make money in business is not to think too much about making it.
Henry Ford
Image
One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.
Henry Ford
Image
The human race cannot forever exist half-exploiters and half-exploited.
Henry Ford
Image
All life is experience, and one level is exchanged for another only when its lesson is learned.
Henry Ford
Image
There are two ways of making yourself stand out from the crowd. One is by having a job so big you can go home before the bell rings if you want to. The other is by finding so much to do that you must stay after the others have gone. The one who enjoys the former once took advantage of the latter.
Henry Ford
Image
Then why flounder around waiting for good business? Get the costs down by better management. Get the prices down to the buying power.
