More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition.
Andrew Carnegie
It is not the rich man's son that the young struggler for advancement has to fear in the race for life, nor his nephew, nor his cousin. Let him look out for the dark horse in the boy who begins by sweeping out the office.
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
Give me a man with an average ability but a burning desire to succeed and I will give you a winner in exchange every time.
Andrew Carnegie
I can't afford to pay them any other way.
Andrew Carnegie
A business is seldom if ever built up except on lines of strictest integrity.

Andrew Carnegie
Ninety percent of all millionaires become so through owning real estate.
Andrew Carnegie

If it is right that schools should be maintained by the whole community for the well-being of the whole, it is right also that libraries should be so maintained.
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
Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.
Andrew Carnegie
The surest foundation of a manufacturing concern is quality. After that, and a long way after, comes cost.
Andrew Carnegie
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.
Andrew Carnegie
The best time to expand is when no one else dares to take risks
Andrew Carnegie
Why should men leave great fortunes to their children? If this is done from affection, is it not misguided affection? Observation teaches that, generally speaking, it is not well for the children that they should be so burdened.
Andrew Carnegie
Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.
