Henry Ford

No one can be helped unless he can be put in the way of helping himself.

People are never so likely to be wrong as when they are organized. And they never have so little freedom. Perhaps that is why the people at large keep their freedom. People can be manipulated only when they are organized.

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

Profits are not financial-they’re social. Everybody profits from industry. Politicians don’t understand profits because they can pay bills out of taxation.

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

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

In the real world, nothing happens at the right place at the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to correct that.

As parents we’re not nearly as computer literate as our children are.

They ask me how I love you and I say in pages, in novels, in volumes. I love you like my favorite story, the one that I wake up to every day and watch unfold. And I don’t know how it ends, but I know your name is already written in the chapters of my life that I have yet to live.

If you need a miracle, be a miracle.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.

I never wanted this kind of life that I’m still living.

You can do anything, but not everything.

Never turn your back on enthusiasm.

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

Thought is the original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain, all great discoveries and inventions, and all achievement.

A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.

If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.

Smugglin’ that by me? That’s like tryin’ to smuggle sunrise past a rooster.

Whatever it is, people who have more spare time than people ever had before get the sense of whirlwind pressure,and repeat the common criticism that ‘we are going too fast.’ Yet the people live longer than ever before, live with less effort, live on a higher plane. Is it possible that this common saying about our rapid pace is just another thoughtless mob suggestion?

I choose you, again and again at the start and finish of every single day, no matter the season, no matter the age. I choose you to struggle and succeed with, to fight and wake up with, to love and grow old with. I choose you, knowing there are still trails we must travel, knowing there are mountains left to climb. I choose you to always be by my side.
