Henry Ford

People didn’t want war. We were forced in it. How fast we finish it depends on how free a hand our generals and admirals have. The less interference they get from the politicians the quicker they’ll end it.

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.

The time is coming when man will be able to determine the length of his lifespan by controlling his diet.

Greatest thing we can produce is character. Everything else can be taken from us, but not our character.

Individualism is what makes cooperation worth living.

I believe in 100% Theory and 100% Practice. Theory without practical application is futile.

The most interesting information come from children, for they tell all they know and then stop.

Don’t hurry, don’t worry. You’re only here for a short visit. So be sure and smell the flowers.

Do not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not fear friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exists because of their silent consent.

This is your life and the clock is ticking.

We live by the Golden Rule. Those who have the gold make the rules.

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about! You’re crazy!

Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

If you believe you deserve better, you will create better for yourself.

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

Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.

In Nevada, for a time, the lawyer, the editor, the banker, the chief desperado, the chief gambler, and the saloon-keeper occupied the same level of society, and it was the highest.

There is nothing so stable as change.

It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.

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.
