Andrew Carnegie
Image

Andrew Carnegie
Image
There is no idol more debasing than the worship of money.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged... 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket' is all wrong. I tell you 'put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.'
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!
Andrew Carnegie
Image
When I did big things, some large corporations like the Pennsylvania Railroad Company were behind me and responsible party.
