Henry Ford

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

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.

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.

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.

When we are through, we shall have reproduced American life as lived; and that, I think is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition.

Man is a comparative being. Substandard things must go before super-standard things can come.

Man is always more than he can know of himself; consequently, his accomplishments, time and again, will come as a surprise to him.

If emotional pain or problems have cropped up in your life, you must insist on getting closure. Closure means you don’t carry the problem or the pain. You address the issue, then you slam shut the book and put it away.

This is the only reason Greenfield Village exists-to give us a sense of unity with our people through the generations, and to convey the inspiration of American genius to our young men. As a nation we have not depended so much on rare or occasional genius as on the general resourcefulness of our people. That is our true genius, and I am hoping that Greenfield Village will serve that.

If you wish to clear away the clouds of thought, simply keep your mind in the present.

The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.

Most choices are driven by immediate results.

Be ready to revise any system, scrap any method, abandon any theory, if the success of the job requires it.

Life on the road is murder. It’s as though life begins and ends with your horn in your mouth.

The satisfaction that arises from honest accomplishment is of far more value in the promotion of human happiness than the thrill that comes with the realization of materialistic aspirations.

Leaders inspire. They aren’t assigned leadership. They command it.

People have the right to think and say whatever they want to. But you have the right not to take it to heart, and not to react.

You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn’t correct. We all start with all there is, it’s how we use it that makes things possible.

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

Everyone faces the challenge of finding meaning to their suffering.
