Henry Ford

I will build a motor car for the great multitude – constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. So low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one-and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God’s great open spaces.

In the Ford Motor Company we emphasize service equally with sales.

Hard knocks have a place and value, but hard thinking goes farther in less time.

Four women have helped me: mother, sister, mother-in-law and wife.

Getting permanent value out of a job means purpose and fitting means to ends.

If the people really set their minds on anything it is impossible to prevent their getting what they want.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.

Don’t worry, be happy!

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

If you are not happy every morning when you get up, leave for work, or start to work at home, and are not enthusiastic about doing that, you will not be successful.

If you want to be happy, be.

My number one daily habit is to give myself permission to be happy. It’s physical and mental; it’s my diet, physical activity, and emotional state. That’s all tied together.

Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.

It isn’t necessary to be rich and famous to be happy, it’s only necessary to be rich.

You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.

They’ve got no idea what happiness is, they don’t know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us–there is no life.
