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
Image

Andrew Carnegie
Image
Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Upon the sacredness of property civilization itself depends-the right of the laborer to his hundred dollars in the savings bank, and equally the legal right of the millionaire to his millions.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
A sunny disposition is worth more than [a monetary] fortune. Young people should know that it can be cultivated that the mind like the body can be moved from the shade into sunshine.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Success can be attained in any branch of labor. There’s always room at the top in every pursuit.
