More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.
Andrew Carnegie
Do real and permanent good in this world.
Andrew Carnegie
The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is great but the advantages of this law are also greater still than its cost- for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train.
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
It is trying to be other than one's self that unmans one. Be your own natural self and go ahead.
Andrew Carnegie

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
Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
Andrew Carnegie
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
Andrew Carnegie
I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves.
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
A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.
Andrew Carnegie
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Andrew Carnegie
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
