Henry Ford
1927·Dearborn, Michigan, USA

Let them fail; let everybody fail! I made my fortune when I had nothing to start with, by myself and my own ideas. Let other people do the same thing. If I lose everything in the collapse of our financial structure, I will start in at the beginning and build it up again.

1913·Dearborn, Michigan, USA

I will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one — and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces.

1916

I don't know whether Napoleon did or did not try to get across there and I don't care. I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. It means nothing to me. History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.

1928

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.

Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again. There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail.

Abraham LincolnAbraham Lincoln·1862

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

Thomas EdisonThomas Edison·1910

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
