More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
I wish to have as my epitaph: 'Here lies a man who was wise enough to bring into his service men who knew more than he.'
Andrew Carnegie
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.
Andrew Carnegie
Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!
Andrew Carnegie
No man can become rich without himself enriching others
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
There are two types of people who never achieve very much in their lifetimes. One is the person who won't do what he or she is told to do, and the other is the person who does no more than he or she is told to do.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
The man of business knows that only by years of patient, unremitting attention to affairs can he earn his reward, which is the result, not of chance, but of well-devised means for the attainment of ends.
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
Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
Andrew Carnegie
I don't believe in God. My God is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life.
Andrew Carnegie
The surest foundation of a manufacturing concern is quality. After that, and a long way after, comes cost.
Andrew Carnegie
The secret of happiness is renunciation.
Andrew Carnegie
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
Andrew Carnegie
The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do.
Andrew Carnegie
When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make lemonade.
