More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
I spent the first half of my life making money and the second half of my life giving it away to do the most good and the least harm.
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
Mr. Morgan buys his partners I grow my own.
Andrew Carnegie
The rare individuals who unselfishly try to serve others have an enormous advantage-they have little competition.
Andrew Carnegie
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

Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
Here is the prime condition of success: Concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun on one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.
Andrew Carnegie

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
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
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
Andrew Carnegie
I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution.
Andrew Carnegie
If thou dost not sow, thou shalt not reap.
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
And there is no use whatever, gentlemen, trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
Andrew Carnegie
I will give a million dollars for any convincing proof of a future life.
Andrew Carnegie
