Henry Ford

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

If you need a machine and don’t buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don’t have it.

No one ever wins a war.

We now know that anything which is economically right is also morally right. There can be no conflict between good economics and good morals.

We live in an era of tremendous facts. And the facts are facts. They are also unpleasant facts, which does not decrease their factual percentage one bit. Our job is to understand them, to recognize their presence, to learn if we can what they signify and not to fall into the error of minimizing facts because they have a bitter flavor.

If the boss stands in the way of men getting what they earn, he is not fit to be boss.

Many of my students don’t know that I’m second lady of the United States… because, you know, it’s a community college.

Men may be born free; they cannot be born wise; and it is the duty of the university to make the free wise.

College is part of the American Dream. It shouldn’t be part of a financial nightmare for families.

Over the years, I have again and again asked fellow believers in a free society how they managed to escape the contagion of their collectivist intellectual environment. No name has been mentioned more often as the source of enlightenment than Friedrich Hayek’s.

Education… has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

In addition to an education, kids were supposed to graduate with some basic values, self-discipline, and life skills. A little common sense wouldn’t hurt either. Our schools don’t teach that anymore, instead we’re more concerned about kids having self-esteem and feeling good about themselves than we are about preparing them for real life. The politically correct crowd has taken over our schools, and as a result we are failing our children.

Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field!

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I – if I’m not interested in something, I don’t grasp it.

All the learnin’ my father paid for was a bit o’ birch at one end and an alphabet at the other.

We seldom suffer from taking our subject of study too seriously, but we usually suffer when we take ourselves too seriously.

[On school] Not only did I know that I wasn’t one of the smart kids in the class, but so did everyone else.

Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who want to learn. Education is preeminently a matter of quality, not amount.

To learn, you have to listen. To improve, you have to try.

Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.

Learn something new every day.
