More quotes by 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

Andrew Carnegie
Give me a man with an average ability but a burning desire to succeed and I will give you a winner in exchange every time.

Andrew Carnegie
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
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
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch 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
Success is the power to acquire whatever one demands of life without violating the rights of others.
Andrew Carnegie
Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition.
Andrew Carnegie
I believe that the road to pre-eminent success in any line of work is to make yourself master of that line of work.
Andrew Carnegie
There is no idol more debasing than the worship of money.
Andrew Carnegie
