Henry Ford

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.

To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.

Mr. Edison was comfortably well off-he was not a money maker.

There is no failure except failure to serve one’s purpose.

Nothing can be made except by makers, nothing can be managed except by managers. Money cannot make anything and money cannot manage anything.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

What is important is not the right doctrine but the attainment of the true experience. It is giving up believing in belief.

Anytime I want to feel closer to the ocean, I just lay by your side and listen to the waves ebb and swell in every breath you give and take, and feel each one crash inside of me. I knew from the first time I saw you that whoever said empty shells carried the ocean’s songs had never met you before.

You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.

I apologize when I’m wrong.

Learn when’s a good time to shut up.

The highest perfection of politeness is only a beautiful edifice, built, from the base to the dome, of ungraceful and gilded forms of charitable and unselfish lying.

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.

I don’t care about anyone not liking me, you b**thes barely like yourselves.

To me, you’ll always be the rising suns, the sinking moons, and all the stars that come between the sound of rain and river stones, the warmth of my sheets, the ache in my bones.

There are ships sailing to my ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.

The best way is always the simplest. The attics of the world are cluttered up with complicated failures.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was.
