Henry Ford

Wars do not end wars any more than an extraordinarily large conflagration does away with the fire hazard.

Henry Ford

We are entering an era when we shall create resources which shall be so constantly renewed that the only loss will be not to use them. The will be such a plenteous supply of heat, light and power, that it will be a sin not to use all we want. This era is coming now. And it is coming by way of Water.

Henry Ford

We have had just one main purpose during these years, and that is to give the people transportation of the most dependable quality at the lowest possible cost. Our car was called the Universal Car thirty years ago, because it fulfilled so many needs; it is The Universal Car today for the same reason.

Henry Ford

We have never considered any costs as fixed. Therefore we first reduce the price to a point where we believe more sales will result. Then we go ahead and try to make the price. We do not bother about the costs. The new price forces the cost down.

Henry Ford

We have only started with the development of our country-we have not as yet, with all our talk of wonderful progress, done more than scratch the surface.

Henry Ford

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.

Henry Ford

We ought to know more about the families who founded this nation, and how they lived. One way to do this is to reconstruct as nearly as possible the conditions under which they lived..

Henry Ford

We teach children to save their money. As an attempt to counteract thoughtless and selfish expenditure, that has value. But it is not positive; it does not lead the child into the safe and useful avenues of selfexpression or selfexpenditure. To teach a child to invest and use is better than to teach him to save.

Henry Ford

We try to pay a man what he is worth and we are not inclined to keep a man who is not worth more than the minimum wage.

Henry Ford

We want to get full value out of labour so that we may be able to pay it full value. It is use – not conservation – that interests us.
