Sometimes you just don't like somebody

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.

People are as happy as they choose to be.

There are two ways of making yourself stand out from the crowd. One is by having a job so big you can go home before the bell rings if you want to. The other is by finding so much to do that you must stay after the others have gone. The one who enjoys the former once took advantage of the latter.

The greatest day of my life was the day I married Mrs. Ford.

I invented nothing new. I simply combined the inventions of others into a car. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed.
