Andrew Carnegie
When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make lemonade.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
The Republic may not give wealth or happiness, she has not promised these. It is the freedom to pursue these, not their realization, we can claim.
Andrew Carnegie
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
It is trying to be other than one's self that unmans one. Be your own natural self and go ahead.
Andrew Carnegie
Private Property, the Law of Accumulation of Wealth, and the Law of Competition... these are the highest results of human experience, the soil in which society so far has produced the best fruit.
