Henry Ford- "It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste."

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

Henry Ford

There is no man living who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.

Competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs.

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

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 there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.

Henry Ford

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

Henry Ford

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

Money is like an arm or leg – use it or lose it.

Henry Ford

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

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.

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 highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

There are no big problems, there are just a lot of little problems.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

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

Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

Henry Ford

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

The object of living is work, experience, happiness.

Henry Ford

There is no such thing as no chance.

Henry Ford

Clearly, this shows that the more practice you have, the more prepared you are if it happens and the more likely you are to know how to react.

Henry Ford

Never complain. Never explain.
