Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie
There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else.
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
You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.
Andrew Carnegie
