Henry Ford Quotes

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

One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is the penniless reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money from one class and give it to another, all the world's ills will be cured only have to know what you want, then forget it, and go about your business. Suddenly, the idea will come through. It was there all the time.

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.

The object of living is work, experience, and happiness. There is joy in work. All that money can do is buy us someone else's work in exchange for our own. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

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.

There is no such thing as no chance.

Clearly, this shows that the more practice you have, the more prepared you are if it happens and the more likely you are to know how to react.

Never complain. Never explain.

Demo demo demo - New inventions are often difficult to explain and are better when they are demoed. When Sharon and I went on the Shopping Channel one of the key messages they always repeated was demo demo demo. A YouTube demo is a great start. You can do a dramatization to begin with. Hopefully you'll be able to get actual footage of the system in use from the video cameras of the places where it is installed. The more potential customers can experience the product, the better. Have them "break into" a demo store and let them see how powerful the product is. An actual demo will answer most of the prospective customer's questions and will give them an emotional buy-in to the product. When Henry Ford believed he had perfected his first vehicle, he took it to William H. Murphy, a lumber tycoon in Detroit, who took it for a test drive. Murphy agreed with Ford that gasoline-powered vehicles would be fueling the future and the two instantly formed a partnership that would forever change the face of the 20th century. Without that first hand experience it would have been difficult for Ford to convince Murphy about the potential of gasoline-power - it seems obvious now but at the time it was a revolutionary idea. Demo demo demo the product to get the customers experiencing the benefits first hand!
