Henry Ford Quotes Click here for Henry Ford books My Life and Work - An Autobiography of Henry Ford "A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." "History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today." "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black." "An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous." "I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I was twenty six. Religion offered nothing to the point. Even work could not give me complete satisfaction. Work is futile if we cannot utilize the experience we collect in one life in the next. When I discovered Reincarnation it was as if I had found a universal plan I realized that there was a chance to work out my ideas. Time was no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to the hands of the clock." "Genius is experience. Some seem to think that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives. Some are older souls than others, and so they know more." "The average man won't really do a day's work unless he is caught and cannot get out of it." "You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." "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." "Before every minute of action, there should be an hour of thought." "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." "It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste." "It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages." "It is well that the 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." "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." |
