The Famous Quotes of Henry Ford

The Ford Motor Company is in its eleventh decade of operation and has never been more profitable or built better automobiles.  While it has gone through many decades of mediocrity, it began as perhaps the most successful industrial powerhouse at the beginning of the twentieth century.  Much of that credit goes to its iconic founder Henry Ford.  Henry Ford made very profound, yet simple quotes.  The quotes apply to business, to communities, to churches, to individuals or teams.  Here are some of them:
