Quotes from Henry Ford . . . .

Burgess COMMENTARY

Peter Burgess

As Rod Serling used to say “submitted for your approval . . . '

Quotes from Henry Ford . . . .

“Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.”

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

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

“It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.”

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”

“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.”

“Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though 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.”

“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.”

“I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible.”

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

“A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.”

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”

“You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.”

“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”

“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.”

“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.”

'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.”

“Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain”

“You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.”

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

“What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them”

“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”

“The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them, and then make our plans with confidence.”

“I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.”

“There is one rule for industrialists and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible”

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

“There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can”
