Henry Ford

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

We do not hire a man’s history, we hire the man.

We are entering an era when we shall create resources which shall be so constantly renewed that the only loss will be not to use them. There will be such a plenteous supply of heat, light and power, that it will be a sin not to use all we want. This era is coming now. And it is coming by way of Water.

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

The sense of injustice, more than the unjust condition itself, is what wears on men’s minds.

Trouble with the world today is people don’t go to children enough. I don’t like old people. I stay away from them.

People say time heals all wounds. Let me tell you, time heals nothing. You can do the wrong thing for 10 years and it doesn’t equal the right thing for one day.

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

I would rather be healthy alone, then sick with someone else.

I don’t read history. That’s in the past. I’m thinking of the future.

A man’s character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.

You almost never get the pleasure of seeing that you won the argument in real time. People just don’t like to publicly change their minds. They change their minds in private.

I don’t substitute anybody else’s judgment for my own.

Most of the sickness in the world is caused by eating too much.

I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a winter’s evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream… I know how the nuts taken in conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people’s tales and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting.

One side of unhealthy relating is if you are always pursuing or always retreating.

The world is held together by the mass of honest folk who do their daily tasks, tend their own spot in the world, and have faith that at last the Right will come fully into its own.

All heiresses are beautiful.

In the meantime, let’s agree that what makes a problem big is simply that it’s yours.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once. I am happy being here and all the things that are a risk I normally avoid.
