Quotes from Henry Ford(posted on FB by my father) [View all]

"Those who walk with God, always reach their destination."---Henry Ford

All Christians should ponder on this one. Especially the lunatic religious right who always preach about God's word, but never follow through.

‎"There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible, at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible."---Henry Ford

And if the modern day "businessman" still thought like this, we'd still be a booming economy. But it seems that only the second part is taken into consideration.

‎"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business."---Henry Ford

How prophetic! Today we live in an economy of mega-banks, hedge funds & their ilk. Businesses that make money without adding any value to the economy are destroying the hopes & dreams of the "masses". (This quoted directly from him - and i agree whole-heartedly).
