More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
Concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged... 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket' is all wrong. I tell you 'put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.'
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
Pioneering don't pay.
Andrew Carnegie
Mr. Morgan buys his partners I grow my own.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
There is no idol more debasing than the worship of money.
Andrew Carnegie
The sound rule in business is that you may give money freely when you have a surplus, but your name never-neither as endorser nor as member of a corporation with individual liability
Andrew Carnegie
Neither the individual nor the race is improved by almsgiving. The best means of benefiting the community is to place within its reach the ladders upon which the aspiring can rise.
Andrew Carnegie
Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.
