亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
Industry organized for service removes the need for philanthropy. Philanthropy, no matter how noble its motive, does not make for self-reliance. We must have self-reliance. A community is the better for being discontented, for being dissatisfied with what it has. I do not mean the petty, daily, nagging, gnawing sort of discontent, but a broad, courageous sort of discontent which believes that everything which is done can and ought to be eventually done better. Industry organized for service--and the workingman as well as the leader must serve--can pay wages sufficiently large to permit every family to be both self-reliant and self-supporting. A philanthropy that spends its time and money in helping the world to do more for itself is far better than the sort which merely gives and thus encourages idleness. Philanthropy, like everything else, ought to be productive, and I believe that it can be. I have personally been experimenting with a trade school and a hospital to discover if such institutions, which are commonly regarded as benevolent, cannot be made to stand on their own feet. I have found that they can be.

白话
福特主张，以服务为目的组织工业，就能消除对慈善的需要。慈善无论动机多高尚，都不培养自立，而自立必不可少。一个社区因不满足现状而更好，但这不是日常琐碎的抱怨，而是宽广勇敢的不满，相信一切都能且应做得更好。以服务为目的的工业——工人和领导者都必须服务——能支付足够工资，让每个家庭自立自养。花时间金钱帮世界自力更生的慈善，远胜于只给钱而助长懒惰的慈善。慈善也应像其他事一样有生产力，他相信可以做到。他亲自试验贸易学校和医院，发现这类通常被视为慈善的机构也能自立。

福特在《我的生活与工作》中阐述其“服务而非慈善”的理念，并提及自己创办的学校和医院实验。
