No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
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

It is more difficult to give money away intelligently than to earn it in the first place.
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.
