More quotes by Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
I wish to have as my epitaph: 'Here lies a man who was wise enough to bring into his service men who knew more than he.'

Andrew Carnegie
Success is the power to acquire whatever one demands of life without violating the rights of others.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
Don't be content with doing only your duty. Do more than your duty. It's the horse that finishes a neck ahead that wins the race.
Andrew Carnegie
A sunny disposition is worth more than fortune.
Andrew Carnegie
The man who dies rich, dies disgraced.
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
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Andrew Carnegie
Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.
Andrew Carnegie
My hopes were high, and I looked every day for some change to take place. What it was to be I knew not, but that it would come I felt certain if I kept on. One day the chance came.
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
If it is right that schools should be maintained by the whole community for the well-being of the whole, it is right also that libraries should be so maintained.
Andrew Carnegie
The best time to expand is when no one else dares to take risks
Andrew Carnegie
It is not the rich man's son that the young struggler for advancement has to fear in the race for life, nor his nephew, nor his cousin. Let him look out for the dark horse in the boy who begins by sweeping out the office.
Andrew Carnegie
