More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
There is a power under your control that is greater than poverty, greater than the lack of education, greater than all your fears and superstitions combined. It is the power to take possession of your own mind and direct it to whatever ends you may desire.
Andrew Carnegie
Touch his head, and he will bargain and argue with you to the last Touch his heart, and he falls upon your breast.
Andrew Carnegie
A sunny disposition is worth more than fortune.
Andrew Carnegie
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
The more difficult a problem becomes, the more interesting it is.
Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.
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

Andrew Carnegie
Anything in life worth having is worth working for.
Andrew Carnegie
A business is seldom if ever built up except on lines of strictest integrity.
Andrew Carnegie
The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do.
Andrew Carnegie
I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves.
Andrew Carnegie
Every man gravitates to where he belongs in life, just as surely as water seeks and finds its level. His position is measured precisely by the quality and quantity of the service he renders, plus the mental attitude with which he relates himself to other people.
Andrew Carnegie
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
Andrew Carnegie
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
Andrew Carnegie
You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, love big and live big.
Andrew Carnegie
There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else.
Andrew Carnegie
