More quotes by Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
Teamwork appears most effective if each individual helps others to succeed, increasing the synergy of that team ideally, every person will contribute different skills to increase the efficiency of the team and develop its unity.
Andrew Carnegie
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
Andrew Carnegie
Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.
Andrew Carnegie
The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.
Andrew Carnegie
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.
Andrew Carnegie
He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Andrew Carnegie
Touch his head, and he will bargain and argue with you to the last Touch his heart, and he falls upon your breast.
Andrew Carnegie
I spent the first half of my life making money and the second half of my life giving it away to do the most good and the least harm.
Andrew Carnegie
Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
Andrew Carnegie
I am no longer cursed by poverty because I took possession of my own mind, and that mind has yielded me every material thing I want, and much more than I need. But this power of mind is a universal one, available to the humblest person as it is to the greatest.
Andrew Carnegie
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
Andrew Carnegie
There are two types of people who never achieve very much in their lifetimes. One is the person who won't do what he or she is told to do, and the other is the person who does no more than he or she is told to do.
Andrew Carnegie
There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.
Andrew Carnegie
Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
Andrew Carnegie
Pittsburgh entered the core of my heart when I was a boy and cannot be torn out.
Andrew Carnegie
