More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
The man who dies leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was his to administer during his life, will pass away unwept, unhonoured and insung no matter to what uses he leaves the dross which he cannot take with him.
Andrew Carnegie
I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.
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 rare individuals who unselfishly try to serve others have an enormous advantage-they have little competition.
Andrew Carnegie
That 95 per cent. fail of those who start in business upon their own account seems incredible, and yet such are said to be the statistics upon the subject.
Andrew Carnegie

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
Here lies one who knew how to get around him men who were cleverer than himself
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
He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.
Andrew Carnegie
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work.
Andrew Carnegie
I don't believe in God. My God is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life.
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
The Republic may not give wealth or happiness, she has not promised these. It is the freedom to pursue these, not their realization, we can claim.
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
You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
Andrew Carnegie
No man becomes rich unless he enriches others.
