More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
Capitalism is about turning luxuries into necessities.
Andrew Carnegie
Private Property, the Law of Accumulation of Wealth, and the Law of Competition... these are the highest results of human experience, the soil in which society so far has produced the best fruit.
Andrew Carnegie
Nothing tells in the long run like a good judgment, and no sound judgment can remain with the man whose mind is disturbed by the mercurial changes of the stock exchange. It places him under an influence akin to intoxication. What is not, he sees, and what he sees, is not.
Andrew Carnegie
What one does easily, one does well.
Andrew Carnegie
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
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
All is well since all grows better
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
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
Andrew Carnegie
I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.
Andrew Carnegie
Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
Andrew Carnegie
I will give a million dollars for any convincing proof of a future life.
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
Surplus wealth is a sacred trust to be managed for the good of others.
Andrew Carnegie
A business is seldom if ever built up except on lines of strictest integrity.
Andrew Carnegie
The more difficult a problem becomes, the more interesting it is.
Andrew Carnegie
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Andrew Carnegie
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
It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.
Andrew Carnegie
Give me the life of the boy whose mother is nurse, seamstress, washerwoman, cook, teacher, angel, and saint, all in one, and whose father is guide, exemplar, and friend. No servants to come between. These are the boys who are born to the best fortune.
Andrew Carnegie
