Henry Ford on motivation and goals

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Do, or do not. There is no ‘try.’

Never give in⁠—never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
