 Henry
Ford quotes on Money
"If money is your hope
for independence you will never have it. The only real security that
a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience,
and ability."
"Many people think that by
hoarding money they are gaining safety for themselves. If money is your
ONLY hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security
that a person can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience,
and ability. Without these qualities, money is practically useless."
"Money doesn't change men,
it merely unmasks them. If a man is naturally selfish or arrogant or
greedy, the money brings that out, that's all."
"Wealth, like happiness,
is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a byproduct
of providing a useful service."

it."
Henry

turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement."

Henry Ford Truisms"

when no one is looking."

remedy. "

be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the
wind, not with it."
Women
"Women do not win formula
one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the G-forces.
In the boardroom, it is different. I believe women are better able to
marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical
they make fewer assumptions."
Friends
"My best friend is the one
who brings out the best in me."
