Henry Ford

That is what we are put in the world for, to get experience and to help others get it. It is the one thing no one can take away from us.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

The genius of the American people is Self-Reliance.

The only thing you can give a man without hurting him is an opportunity.

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?

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

Dream is not the thing what you see in sleep, dream is the thing that does not let you sleep.

We live in an age when pizza gets to your home before the police.

You have got to decide, look, this is who I am; this is my best way to present myself, and I’m going to ride that horse to the finish line. Not everybody will like it, but that’s OK.

Since when is “public safety” the root password to the Constitution?

We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

Feelings are often born from the matrix of conditions beyond your control. Let them just pass through, like a cloud in the sky.

Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.

How many legs does a dog have, if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.

Life is not a success-only journey. You are going to get beat up along the way. And you’ve got to have the strength of character to get up and get back in the game.

If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I’d type a little faster.

It’s just a matter of managing expectations. So for me, for example, you know, when your husband is President of the United States and you have children, something has got to give. I’ve made compromises in my life and my career, but I’ve also, in exchange, gained a wonderful platform to do some great work.

I never apologize. I’m sorry, but that’s just the way I am.

Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it. When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn’t reach, which astonished me. Then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one. I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could’ve held out a little longer, maybe I could’ve got one.

Love cannot be defined, reduced, or ignored. It exists just the same for me, for you, for everyone.

I accept chaos, I’m not sure whether it accepts me.
