| Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. Henry Ford |

| Reading musses up my mind. Henry Ford |
| It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages. Henry Ford |
| If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. Henry Ford |
| A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. Henry Ford |

| "Instead of focusing on their individual agendas, collaborative partnerships establish common goals. In order to address problems that lie beyond any single agency's exclusive purview, but which concern them all, partners agree to pool resources, jointly plan, implement, and evaluate new services and procedures, and delegate individual responsibility for the outcomes of their joint efforts."

If you wish to prosper, let your customer prosper...
When people have learned this lesson, everyone will seek his individual welfare in the general welfare. Then jealousies between man and man, city and city, province and province, nation and nation, will no longer trouble the world. Frédéric Bastiat Business |
| "That leaves 93 percent of "potential" untapped. Humans only use 10 percent of the brain and 7 percent of company databases, yet we’re always 100 percent sure of everything. That just doesn’t add up." Christina Bultinck Business |
| In the business world an executive knows something about everything, a technician knows everything about something - and the switchboard operator knows everything. Harold Coffin Business |
| "Today's environment is beginning to threaten today's organizations, finding them seriously deficient in their nervous system design.... The degree of coordination, perception, rational adaptation, etc., which will appear in the next generation of human organizations will drive our present organizational forms, with their clumsy nervous systems, into extinction." Douglas Engelbart Business |
| The great virtue of free enterprise is that it forces existing businesses to meet the test of the market continuously, to produce products that meet consumer demands at lowest cost, or else be driven from the market. It is a profit-and-loss system. Naturally, existing businesses generally prefer to keep out competitors in other ways. That is why the business community, despite its rhetoric, has so often been a major enemy of truly free enterprise. Milton Friedman Business |
| The economic miracle that has been the United States was not produced by socialized enterprises, by government-union-industry cartels or by centralized economic planning. It was produced by private enterprises in a profit-and-loss system. And losses were at least as important in weeding out failures as profits in fostering successes. Let government succor failures, and we shall be headed for stagnation and decline. Milton Friedman Business |
| Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning. Bill Gates Business |
| "The people who think that the power of big business is enormous are mistaken…since big business depends entirely on the patronage of those who buy its products: the biggest enterprise loses its power and its influence when it loses its customers." Ludwig von Mises Business |
| The American businessmen, as a class, have demonstrated the greatest productive genius and the most spectacular achievements ever recorded in the economic history of mankind. What reward did they receive from our culture and its intellectuals? The position of a hated, persecuted minority. The position of a scapegoat for the evils of the bureaucrats. Ayn Rand Business |
