Words of Wisdom: Henry Ford (Part I)

Henry Ford was an American industrialist and entrepreneur, best known for his Ford Motor Co.  Here are some of his quotes:

  • I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible
  • Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this
  • Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal
  • Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're right
  • Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them
  • A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large
  • Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently
  • Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs
  • Quality means doing it right when no one is looking
  • You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do
  • Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
  • One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his greatest surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't
  • As we advance in life we learn the limits of our abilities
  • Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success
  • Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it
