A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it.
Henry Ford
A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.
Henry Ford
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
Henry Ford
An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
Henry Ford
Any colour - so long as it's black.
Henry Ford
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
As we advance in life we learn the limits of our abilities.
Henry Ford
Asking "who ought to be the boss" is like asking "who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?" Obviously, the man who can sing tenor.
Henry Ford
Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.
Henry Ford
Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.
Henry Ford
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.

Henry Ford
Don't find fault, find a remedy.
Henry Ford
Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.
Henry Ford
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.
Henry Ford
Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don't need it: if you are sick you should not take it.
Henry Ford
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Henry Ford
History is more or less bunk.
Henry Ford
I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.
Henry Ford
I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.
Henry Ford
I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.
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
If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.
Henry Ford
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
Henry Ford
It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.
Henry Ford
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
Henry Ford
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Henry Ford
Money doesn't change men, it merely unmasks them. If a man is naturally selfish or arrogant or greedy, the money brings that out, that's all.
Henry Ford
Money is like an arm or leg - use it or lose it.
Henry Ford
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
Henry Ford
Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.
Henry Ford
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
Henry Ford
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
Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
Henry Ford
Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
Henry Ford
The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.
Henry Ford
The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.
Henry Ford
The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.
Henry Ford
The question "Who ought to be boss?" is like as "Who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?" Obviously, the man who can sing tenor.
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
There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
Henry Ford
There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.
Henry Ford
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.
Henry Ford
Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Henry Ford
We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.
Henry Ford
Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

Henry Ford
Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.
Henry Ford
Women do not win formula one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the G-forces. In the boardroom, it is different. I believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions.
Henry Ford
You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.
Henry Ford
You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.
