More quotes by Andrew Carnegie
The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.
Andrew Carnegie
He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.
Andrew Carnegie
The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.
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
Upon the sacredness of property civilization itself depends-the right of the laborer to his hundred dollars in the savings bank, and equally the legal right of the millionaire to his millions.
Andrew Carnegie
Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.
Andrew Carnegie
Golf is an indispensable adjunct to high civilisation.
Andrew Carnegie
No man can become rich without himself enriching others

Andrew Carnegie
Three generations from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves.
Andrew Carnegie
Neither the individual nor the race is improved by almsgiving. The best means of benefiting the community is to place within its reach the ladders upon which the aspiring can rise.
Andrew Carnegie
Private Property, the Law of Accumulation of Wealth, and the Law of Competition... these are the highest results of human experience, the soil in which society so far has produced the best fruit.
Andrew Carnegie
Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark.... In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed. ~Germaine Greer
Andrew Carnegie
I will give a million dollars for any convincing proof of a future life.
Andrew Carnegie
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
Andrew Carnegie
And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.
Andrew Carnegie
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
Andrew Carnegie
Pittsburgh entered the core of my heart when I was a boy and cannot be torn out.
Andrew Carnegie
