More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
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.
Andrew Carnegie
No man can become rich without himself enriching others
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
Pioneering don't pay.
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
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
I will give a million dollars for any convincing proof of a future life.
Andrew Carnegie
I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.
Andrew Carnegie
Not evil, but good, has come to the race from the accumulation of wealth by those who have the ability and energy that produce it.
Andrew Carnegie
And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.
Andrew Carnegie
All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.
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
The sole purpose of being rich is to give away money.
Andrew Carnegie
There is no way of making a business successful that can vie with the policy of promoting those who render exceptional service.
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
When I did big things, some large corporations like the Pennsylvania Railroad Company were behind me and responsible party.
Andrew Carnegie
Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark.... In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed. ~Germaine Greer
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
Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.
Andrew Carnegie
Wealth is not to feed our egos but to feed the hungry and to help people help themselves.
Andrew Carnegie
