More quotes by David Nasaw
To entrust the government with the power of determining the education which our children receive is entrusting our servant with the power to be our master.
David Nasaw
Buffett, when he gave away his money, referenced Carnegie. He quoted from Carnegie. When he said, The man who dies rich dies disgraced, in the 1880s, his fellow millionaires looked on him like he was a lunatic, you know, an idiot, a mad man.

Carnegie believed in the survival of the fittest. He believed in Social Darwinism. He believed that you had to give an opportunity to the fittest, who were going to survive, to the fittest to rise themselves as high as they could.
