Henry Ford

If a young man wants to fit himself for the Politics of tomorrow, let him fit himself into essential industry for the purpose of learning how best to conduct it for the whole public good.

Fairs and public displays are the best means we have yet found of showing large numbers of people the real methods of industry.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain.

Employers only handle the money – it is the customer who pays the wages.

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.

Money will ruin the life of any man who treats it like anything but a tool with which to work.

I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.

I have lived too long to cherish many illusions about the essential high-mindedness of men when brought into stark confrontation with the issue of control over their security, and their property interests.

If we knew the meaning to everything that is happening to us, then there would be no meaning.

You have to figure out what that is, and you have to make a plan to get to it. And the plan has got to have a timeline. You have to choose something that you can afford to do and then lock it in and passionately do it.

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.

Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.

The love we were promised in fairy tales was never something for us to find. It has always been something for us to create.

When we remember that we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

I drank to drown my pain, but the damned pain learned how to swim…

I have survivor’s curiosity, I guess.
