Henry Ford on failure

Let them fail; let everybody fail!  I made my fortune when I had nothing to start with, by myself and my own ideas.  Let other people do the same thing.  If I lose everything in the collapse of our financial structure, I will start in at the beginning and build it up again. 

~ Henry Ford, February 11, 1933
