Aim for the highest.
Andrew Carnegie
All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.
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
Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
Andrew Carnegie
Concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket.
Andrew Carnegie
Concentration is my motto - first honesty, then industry, then concentration.
Andrew Carnegie
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Andrew Carnegie
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
Andrew Carnegie
Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
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
I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution.
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
I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.
Andrew Carnegie
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Andrew Carnegie
Mr. Morgan buys his partners; I grow my own.
Andrew Carnegie
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
Andrew Carnegie
No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.
Andrew Carnegie
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
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
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
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
Andrew Carnegie
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
Andrew Carnegie
The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled.
Andrew Carnegie
The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.
Andrew Carnegie
The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.
Andrew Carnegie
There is little success where there is little laughter.
Andrew Carnegie
There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else.
Andrew Carnegie
Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!
Andrew Carnegie
Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.
Andrew Carnegie
You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb.
Andrew Carnegie
You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.
