Andrew Carnegie
It was from my own early experience that I decided there was no use to which money could be applied so productive of good to girls and boys who have good within them and ability and ambition to develop it as the founding of a public library.
Andrew Carnegie
Success can be attained in any branch of labor. There’s always room at the top in every pursuit.
