I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence in money making.. certainly never one in manufacturing.. who was interested in many concerns.

Do not think a man has done his full duty when he has performed the work assigned him. A man will never rise if he does only this. Promotion comes from exceptional work.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
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.

Men who reach decisions promptly usually have the capacity to move with definiteness of purpose in other circumstances.

I have had a long, long life full of troubles, but there is one curious fact about them-nine-tenths of them never happened.
Andrew Carnegie

The sole purpose of being rich is to give away money.
Andrew Carnegie

Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.
