An Everyday Expression of Hope and Its Potential

An Everyday Expression of Hope 

Excellence By Ford

September 23, 2014 by John Hembree Leave a Comment

FordDo you by chance drive an Edge, F-150, 250, 350, Taurus, Explorer, Mustang and any number of other models manufactured by Ford?

I once owned a white 1986 Ford Mustang GT Convertible.

Oh my gosh, I loved that car!

Wish I still had it.

Top down year round.

Even if you do not own a Ford product, you certainly can appreciate the industrial forethought of Henry Ford.

Here are twenty one quotes attributed to Henry Ford.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.  Anyone who keeps learning stays young.

Employers only handle the money – it is the customer who pays the wages.

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

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said ‘faster horses.’

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars.

Vision without execution is just hallucination.

There is no man living who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say what is and what is definitely not possible.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits.  They will be embarrassingly large.

You don’t have to hold a position in order to be a leader.

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.

To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.
