Here are some of Henry Ford's most famous quotes [video]

Renowned for his philosophical and outspoken approach to business and life this video, produced by Breda Graham, summarises some of the great quotes, which we're sure you'll agree, ring as true today as they did when first spoken.

And here they are in listicle form for a handy copy and paste:

1. “Quality means doing it right when no-one is looking.”

2. “You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.”

3. “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”

4. “In the boardroom, I believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions.”

5. “It is well enough that people do not understand our banking system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow.”

6. “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”

7. “Money doesn’t change men, it unmasks them. If a man is naturally selfish or arrogant or greedy, the money brings that out.”

8. “I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.”

9. “Chop your own wood, it will warm you twice.”
