More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
The secret of success lies not in doing your own work, but in recognizing the right man to do it.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
Do real and permanent good in this world.

Andrew Carnegie
That 95 per cent. fail of those who start in business upon their own account seems incredible, and yet such are said to be the statistics upon the subject.
Andrew Carnegie
Show me a man of average ability but extraordinary desire and I'll show you a winner every time.
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
Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
Andrew Carnegie
