Came across this list of quotes by Henry Ford. He had a really interesting and humorous outlook on life. Enjoy!

They missed one quote: "Clara, what's for dinner?"

Those are good quotes, he was a down to earth common sense guy. He absolutely hated 'titles' for salary employees.

Today, as poorly as Ford is managed, if Henry came back he would axe almost all of them they are idiots. Ford got fat and lazy and only cares about the next quarter's profits.

Toyota pushed quality and plans 5 years down the road. The way Ford USED to be managed.

I am devoted to Ford, and hate to say it, but who do YOU think is going to come out on top

True. Neighbor bought one and hates it says he is going back to a Ram diesel truck like he had before.

Another friend bought a new Toyota last summer and said the difference in quality from the last one he had, a 2012 model, and this new 2022, is like night and day. He told me the new one in his opinion is junk.

Looks like Toyota is getting fat, and lazy!

What Ford needs is another Alan Muillaly, that guy was brilliant. Had to retire under their age rules.
