Entreprenuerial Words of Wisdom: Henry Ford (Part II)

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

• The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.
• You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.
• 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
• Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young
• I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night
• It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste
• What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them
• If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself
• The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them, and then make our plans with confidence
• Money is like an arm or a leg - use it or lose it
• Don't find fault, find a remedy
• I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done
• There is one rule for industrialists and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible
• Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service
• There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can
