Andrew Carnegie
It was from my own early experience that I decided there was no use to which money could be applied so productive of good to girls and boys who have good within them and ability and ambition to develop it as the founding of a public library.
Andrew Carnegie
There is nothing that robs a righteous cause of its strength more than a millionaire's money.
Andrew Carnegie

There is little success where there is little laughter.
Andrew Carnegie
Here is the prime condition of success: Concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun on one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.
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
Every man gravitates to where he belongs in life, just as surely as water seeks and finds its level. His position is measured precisely by the quality and quantity of the service he renders, plus the mental attitude with which he relates himself to other people.
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
Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
Andrew Carnegie
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.
Andrew Carnegie
All is well since all grows better
Andrew Carnegie
Young man, make your name worth something.
Andrew Carnegie
The morality of compromise sounds contradictory.
Andrew Carnegie
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work.
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
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
