Henry Ford
“You are not saving when you are taking away from yourself becoming more productive. You are really taking away from your ultimate capital.”
Henry Ford, My Life And Work

“Ben Horowitz uses the difference between a vitamin and an aspirin to articulate this point. Vitamins are nice to have; they offer some potential health benefits, but you probably don’t interrupt your commute when you are halfway to the office to return home for the vitamin you neglected to take before you left the house. It also takes a very, very long time to know if your vitamins are even working for you. If you have a headache, though, you’ll do just about anything to get an aspirin! They solve your problem and they are fast acting. Similarly, products that often have massive advantages over the status quo are aspirins; VCs want to fund aspirins.”
Scott Kupor, Secrets of Sand Hill Road: Venture Capital and How to Get It

Henry Ford
“Without scientific study, an employer does not know why he is paying a wage and the employee does not know why he is getting it.”
Henry Ford, My Life And Work

Arkady Martine
“Released, I am a spear in the hands of the sun.”
Arkady Martine, A Memory Called Empire

Henry Ford
“Buying ahead of requirements does not pay. Any wins are negated later down the line.”
Henry Ford, My Life And Work
