The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do.
Andrew Carnegie

The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is great but the advantages of this law are also greater still than its cost- for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Wealth is not to feed our egos but to feed the hungry and to help people help themselves.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
I began to learn what poverty meant. It was burnt in my heart then that my father had to beg for work and there came the resolve that I would cure that when I got to be a man.
Andrew Carnegie

I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence in money making.. certainly never one in manufacturing.. who was interested in many concerns.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
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

I believe that the road to pre-eminent success in any line of work is to make yourself master of that line of work.
Andrew Carnegie

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
You develop millionaires the way you mine gold. You expect to move tons of dirt to find an ounce of gold, but you don't go into the mine looking for the dirt-you go in looking for the gold.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.

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.
