I adopted the theory of reincarnation when I was twenty-six. Religion offered nothing to the
point. Even work could not give me complete satisfaction. Work is futile if we cannot utilise
the experience we collect in one life in the next. When I discovered reincarnation it was as if
I had found a universal plan I realised that there was a chance to work out my ideas. Time
was no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to the hands of the clock. Genius is experience.
Some seem to think that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many
lives. Some are older souls than others, and so they know more. The discovery of
reincarnation put my mind at ease. If you preserve a record of this conversation, write it so
that it puts men's minds at ease. I would like to communicate to others the calmness that the
long view of life gives to us.
Henry Ford

Don't find fault, find a remedy. Anybody can complain.

yourself.

If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a
man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.
Henry Ford

Unless you have courage, a courage that keeps you going, always going, no matter what
happens, there is no certainty of success. It is really an endurance race.
Henry Ford

Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to
realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the
setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Henry Ford

Money is worth what it will help you to produce or buy and no more.
Henry Ford

I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small
enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by
the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But
it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one - and
enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces.
Henry Ford
