Ford

I was looking for some sample questions for an examination that I am preparing for. I found a website and there mentioned was a quote from Henry Ford.

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.

Very impressed by this, I googled for more of his quotes and found the below. Tribute to Ford. Thanks to brainyquotes.com for the online version of these quotes and wikipedia for the image.

Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas. 
 

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.

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.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

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.

You don't build a reputation on what you're going to do.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
