Andrew Carnegie
Men who reach decisions promptly usually have the capacity to move with definiteness of purpose in other circumstances.
Andrew Carnegie
That 95 per cent. fail of those who start in business upon their own account seems incredible, and yet such are said to be the statistics upon the subject.
Andrew Carnegie
