“I attribute much of my advancement and progress to the fact that I lacked capital. Because of this I had to watch every expenditure. If I had not known or experienced the situation of needing money - where I really had to do some close figuring - to start my business, it would never have grown to the proportions you see here today, because I would not have had to study its every detail.
— Harvey S. Firestone
Founder of Firestone Tire & Rubber

“Life, as I see it, is not a location, but a journey. Even the man who most feels himself "settled" is not settled-he is probably sagging back. Everything is in flux, and was meant to be. Life flows. We may live at the same number of the street, but it is never the same man who lives there.
— Henry Ford
