Henry Ford

We do not hire a man’s history, we hire the man.

Burdening people with debt is an old deal not a new deal.

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

When people are ‘stung’ in false investment schemes there are three causes; greed of something for nothing; sheer inability to know their mind; or infantile trustfulness.

A low wage business is always insecure.

What I greatly hope for these children everywhere, is a new attitude toward life–free from the gullibility which thinks we can get something for nothing; free from the greed which thinks any permanent good can come of overreaching others; and, above all, expectant of change, so that when life gives them a jolt they will be fully prepared to push on eagerly along new lines.

There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.

The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.

If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.

Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay, Love isn’t love ’til you give it away!

Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

In this life you have to learn to get up because the road is full of stones.

And of all the things I look forward to in life, falling in love with you is at the top of the list.

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.

We are each a figment of our own imagination.

Pardon me if I haunt you tonight.

What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!

You have the duty and gift of living. You don’t have the right to sit on the sidelines–use your life and get back into the game.

The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.

When your life is nearly over, you will regret it if you look back and recall too many nights when you made excuses instead of making love.

Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.
