Edsel is the artist in our family. Art is something I know nothing about. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
There are no crown princes at Ford, ~ Edsel Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Edsel Ford
As [William] Valentiner noted in his uncompleted memoirs Remembering Artists, [Diego] Rivera's [Detroit Industry] murals rooted the Detroit Institute of Arts to the many-faceted jewel of its central court because of the harmonious, fertile relationship between "the industrialist" and "the artist." Rivera remarked to Valentiner how especially struck he was that "Edsel had none of the characteristics of the exploiting capitalist, that he had the simplicity and directness of a workman in his won factories and was like one of the best of them." Their relationship was like the murals themselves, a superb expression of pluralism, toleration, and empathy for the other, and of a cosmopolitan sense of all the Americas, not just of the United States of America or Detroit alone. ~ John Dean
Edsel Ford quotes by John Dean
Right." Adrian took a deep breath and plunged on.
"I can't get into Mystwerk at thirteen, but Spiritas accepts
novices at eleven, just like Wien House."
"Spiritas?"
"That's the healers' academy at Oden's Ford. You
wouldn't remember it - it's just three years old. They're
combining green magic, music and art therapies, clan remedies,
and, eventually, wizardry."
"Eventually?" His father raised an eyebrow.
"That's the goal, but from what I hear, the deans at
Mystwerk haven't been eager to join in so far."
His father snorted. "Why am I not surprised? ~ Cinda Williams Chima
Edsel Ford quotes by Cinda Williams Chima
I will never understand why anybody who's having so precious little fun here on earth is so damned intent on living forever. ~ G.M. Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by G.M. Ford
What we are entering is a power age, and the importance of the power age lies in its ability, rightly used with the wage motive behind it, to increase and cheapen production so that all of us may have more of this world's goods. The way to liberty, the way to equality of opportunity, the way from empty phrases to actualities, lies through power ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
My opposition to war is not based upon pacifist or non-resistant principles. It may be that the present state of civilization is such that certain international questions cannot be discussed; it may be that they have to be fought out. But the fighting never settles the question. It only gets the participants around to a frame of mind where they will agree to discuss what they were fighting about. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
It feels like getting a back massage from the Grim Reaper: one must get comfortable with the most horrifying things in the world. ~ Gerald R. Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Gerald R. Ford
My big goal in life was always to figure out how I can make a lot of money so I can go off and make films irrespective of the opinion of the three or four critics who seem to rule the roost. ~ Francis Ford Coppola
Edsel Ford quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
The Ford Motor Co. should stand for something more than cars and trucks. There is a Ford way of doing things that we cannot lose ... We need to be continuously polishing that Ford oval. ~ William Clay Ford, Jr.
Edsel Ford quotes by William Clay Ford, Jr.
-no matter what we do, we'll never succeed in attaining the 'perfect' body or the 'perfect' face. This isn't just because perfection is an unattainable goal; it's because capitalism relies on people being constantly unhappy so it can keep selling us the promise that consumerism will make our lives better. ~ Clementine Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Clementine Ford
You are on a soulful path that asks you to step into the greatest version of yourself. It is a sacred gift to shine your brightest light, not just in your moments of glory, but each day. ~ Debbie Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Debbie Ford
I'm a fashion designer. What I do is artistic, but I'm not an artist because everything I do is destined to be sold. That's not to say that you can't be an artist and a fashion designer. I think some designers are artists. ~ Tom Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Tom Ford
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ~ Debbie Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Debbie Ford
Winston Churchill had grasped Eisenhower's hand and told him, with tears in his eyes, I am with you to the end, and if it fails we will go down together. ~ Robert M. Edsel
Edsel Ford quotes by Robert M. Edsel
A low wage business is always insecure. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
Emotional turmoil can be a powerful catalyst to reconnect us with our divine nature. It propels us into a journey of self discovery and urges us to learn how to love and accept our entire being. ~ Debbie Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Debbie Ford
Some presentation authors justify this by saying, "The photographer already knew it was going to be an uncredited effort and it really isn't that hard to take a good photograph. ~ Neal Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Neal Ford
To this day, I remain awestruck by the fact that human beings are capable of this type of metamorphosis. We don't have to stay stuck displaying the same personality traits over the course of our lifetime but are free to transform into higher expressions of ourselves. Today I can honestly say that I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that human beings are capable of making radical and lasting change. After a decade of coaching individuals and leading groups, I have discovered that if I don't buy into people's perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of, I can bypass their public personas and see who they are in their highest expression. With a little effort, I can see their magnificence and their potential no matter what they look like or what condition their emotional, spiritual, or financial world is in. I can see through their acts, their personas, their fears and insecurities. I can see who they are apart from the baggage they carry around. The undeniable fact is that underneath all of our public personas, we already are that which we desire to be. Our only job is to see past our own limitations so that we can return to that which we already are. ~ Debbie Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Debbie Ford
It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"
"What?"
"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"
"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."
Ford shrugged again.
"Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to ~ Douglas Adams
Edsel Ford quotes by Douglas Adams
I think people are sick of trends changing every six months - not because we're tired of them, but just for the sake of change. There is so much junk in the world: junk TV, junk movies, all those junk magazines with the same people on the cover. ~ Tom Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Tom Ford
I always felt like if I lived in true authentic self-expression and lived in service and in support of many other people, I would be exempt from having to deal with yet another crisis in my life. I was wrong. ~ Debbie Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Debbie Ford
Whatever you have, you must either use or lose. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
In the late fifties Romney had been a forceful advocate of breaking up GM. That, he believed, would make everyone leaner and more competitive. In 1957 he went before the Kefauver Senate committee on monopolies. Before he testified he was summoned to the Ford headquarters by Henry Ford and Ernie Breech, the chairman of the company, who were nervous about what he was going to say and wanted to get some idea of his thrust. Romney explained what he wanted: the breaking up of GM and perhaps even Ford. "But that would just make the competition tougher," Ford had said. "If you broke up GM the rest of us would suffer." "That's exactly what I mean," Romney had said. "Listen, I think it's tough enough the way it is - it's a damn hard dollar," Ford had answered. ~ David Halberstam
Edsel Ford quotes by David Halberstam
I did play every little note on the guitar on that record. ~ Lita Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Lita Ford
Because Spencer is a certifiable genius, Ford is as ruthless as they come, and I'm an accomplished liar. ~ J.A. Huss
Edsel Ford quotes by J.A. Huss
My favourite designers always create a strong silhouette, like McQueen and Tom Ford and Alaia. I like structured things that you can throw on, and it's almost like armour, and you're, like, ready for the day. ~ Liberty Ross
Edsel Ford quotes by Liberty Ross
The thing that I like about being me is that everybody gets a different feeling from me. ~ Willa Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Willa Ford
There was always a gap between my plan and what happened, and I only responded to things as they came along and hoped I wouldn't get in trouble. I was an offender in the law's eyes. But I always thought differently, as if I weren't an offender and had no intention of being one, which was the truth. But as I read on a napkin once, between the idea and the act a whole kingdom lies. And I had a hard time with my acts, which were oftentimes offender's acts, and my ideas, which were as good as the gold they mined there where the bright lights were blazing. ~ Richard Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Richard Ford
If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris. ~ Tom Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Tom Ford
I have a Ford Taurus, and I don't care who knows it. ~ Daniel Woodrell
Edsel Ford quotes by Daniel Woodrell
If you do what you always did, you get what you always gotten ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
It is unfair that life doesn't come with a rewind button; an undo button that can reset time after you make a terrible mistake. ~ Melissa Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Melissa Ford
Trust me no matter how horrible you feel or how bad things seem, there is always a way out. Suicide is never your only option. ~ Michael Thomas Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Michael Thomas Ford
Fuck 'em," said Ford, slumping on the bed. "You can't care about every damn thing. ~ Douglas Adams
Edsel Ford quotes by Douglas Adams
America is not a land of money but of wealth-not a land of rich people, but of successful workers. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
To William Ford, on his own land at last, free of the old country, the farm was liberating; to Henry Ford, bored and restless, it was like a prison. (Cows came to symbolize his hatred of the farm. They were lazy, and they lay around all the time. He spent an entire lifetime railing against them. "The cow is the crudest machine in the world," he once said. On another occasion he said that if people would destroy all the cows in the world, they would eliminate the sources of war. When his company became large, he had his labs working constantly to find substitutes for dairy products.) ~ David Halberstam
Edsel Ford quotes by David Halberstam
The end of money is not ease but the opportunity to perform more service. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
I made mistakes, I drank too much, I smoked some crack some time. What can I say? I made a mistake, I'm human. ~ Rob Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Rob Ford
Black Magick is the process of self-transformation through an antinomian initiatory structure, Black meaning the hidden wisdom, power of darkness, dreams and staging the reality you wish and Magick being the process to ascend, become immortal in spirit. ~ Michael W. Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Michael W. Ford
I am tired of the cult of youth. The cultural rejection of old age, the stigmatization of wrinkles, grey hair, of bodies furrowed by the years. I am fascinated by Diana Vreeland, Georgia O'Keeffe and Louise Bourgeois, women who have let time embrace them without ever cheating. Society today condemns this, me, I celebrate it. ~ Tom Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Tom Ford
Baseball was a metaphor for America, both here and in terms of how it was understood by the rest of the world. ~ Harrison Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Harrison Ford
Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
Revenge proves itself to be its own executioner. ~ John Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by John Ford
With the CGI, suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion. ~ Harrison Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Harrison Ford
If the people really set their minds on anything it is impossible to prevent their getting what they want. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it. ~ Henry Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Henry Ford
When a doting person gets down on all fours and plays with the dog's rubber mouse, it only confuses the puppy and gives him a sense of insecurity. He gets the impression that the world is unstable and wonders whether he is supposed to walk on his hind legs and smoke cigars. ~ Corey Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Corey Ford
They put their animals to the ford and crossed, the water up under the horses' bellies and the horses picking their way over the rocks and glancing wildly upstream where a cataract thundered out of the darkening forest into the flecked and seething pool below. ~ Cormac McCarthy
Edsel Ford quotes by Cormac McCarthy
No one ever tells you that when your heart breaks, you can feel it. But you can. It feels like something has crumbled inside you and the pieces are falling into your stomach. It hurts more than any punch ever could. You stop breathing, and for a while you can't remember how. When you finally do, it feels like your throat has closed up, like you're trying to suck air through a straw. ~ Michael Thomas Ford
Edsel Ford quotes by Michael Thomas Ford
