Henry Ford, Industrialist
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
Henry Ford (born 1863, died 1947) did not invent the automobile, but he made it affordable to the middle class that he helped create. His assembly lines produced inexpensive cars, and he paid the workers on those lines enough to buy the products they made.
Ford sold 15 million Model Ts between 1908 and 1927. The availability of cheap autos drove demand to build the road infrastructure that made America a nation of drivers.
Ford was far from perfect, and the company lost ground to rivals like General Motors in his later years. But his manufacturing process created the modern car industry, and with it, the car culture of the 20th century.
Ford made a product once considered a ‘luxury’ available to a mass market by transforming the manufacturing process.
