More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
Be king in your dreams. Make your vow that you will reach that position, with untarnished reputation, and make no other vow to distract your attention.
Andrew Carnegie
Why should men leave great fortunes to their children? If this is done from affection, is it not misguided affection? Observation teaches that, generally speaking, it is not well for the children that they should be so burdened.
Andrew Carnegie
The secret of success lies not in doing your own work, but in recognizing the right man to do it.
Andrew Carnegie
Men who reach decisions promptly usually have the capacity to move with definiteness of purpose in other circumstances.
Andrew Carnegie
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Andrew Carnegie
The sound rule in business is that you may give money freely when you have a surplus, but your name never-neither as endorser nor as member of a corporation with individual liability
Andrew Carnegie
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Andrew Carnegie
You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.
Andrew Carnegie
In [my] life ... I did not understand steam machinery, but I tried to understand that much more complicated piece of mechanism - man.
Andrew Carnegie
Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.
Andrew Carnegie
You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
Andrew Carnegie
The man of business knows that only by years of patient, unremitting attention to affairs can he earn his reward, which is the result, not of chance, but of well-devised means for the attainment of ends.
Andrew Carnegie
The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do.
Andrew Carnegie
You develop millionaires the way you mine gold. You expect to move tons of dirt to find an ounce of gold, but you don't go into the mine looking for the dirt-you go in looking for the gold.
Andrew Carnegie
There is nothing that robs a righteous cause of its strength more than a millionaire's money.
Andrew Carnegie
The battle of life is already half won by the young man who is brought in contact with high officials and the great aim of every boy should be to do something beyond the sphere of his duties- something which attracts the attention of those over him.
Andrew Carnegie
And there is no use whatever, gentlemen, trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
Andrew Carnegie
The greatest astonishment of my life was the discovery that the man who does the work is not the man who gets rich
Andrew Carnegie
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
He that cannot reason is a fool.
Andrew Carnegie
