When Henry Ford, whom I like to quote, was seventy-five years old, he was asked the secret of his health and calm spirit. “Three rules,” he answered. “I do not eat too much; I do not worry too much; and, if I do my best, I believe that what happens, happens for the best.”

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t—you are right,” said Henry Ford.

Henry Ford was once asked where his ideas came from. There was a saucer on his desk. He flipped it upside down, tapped the bottom, and said: “You know that atmospheric pressure is hitting this object at fourteen pounds per square inch. You can't see it or feel it, but you know it is happening. It’s that way with ideas. The air is full of them. They are knocking you on the head. You only have to know what you want, then forget it and go about your business. Suddenly the idea will come through. It was there all the time.”
