Henry Ford
Somewhere on the road west there is a small pub which has a lot to do with the Ford Family. I remember stopping there about 12 years ago. It is on the main road itself, you go past the door.
I believe the Fairlane was named after a street (lane?) in Cork city.
Quotations attributed to Henry Ford are:
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young".
"Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty".
On choice of colour for the Model T Ford "any colour so long as it is black".
"It is not the employer who pays wages he only handles the money. It is the product that pays wages".
"Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success".
"Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don t need it" if you are sick, you shouldn t take it".
- much quieter than the Ring but equally stunning.
