“FORD SAID, "I'LL BELT THE EARTH WITH DEPENDABLE MOTOR CARS," AND HE DID! His decision to trust his own judgment has already piled up a fortune far greater than the next five generations of his descendents can squander.

You may see at one and the same time both your best friend and your greatest enemy, by stepping in front of a mirror.”
