Andrew Carnegie

When it is a question of God's almighty spirit, never say "I can't"

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution

There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else

The man who dies rich dies disgraced

There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he be willing to climb himself

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents

There is little success where there is little laughter

He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave

No man can become rich without himself enriching others

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do

I would as soon leave to my son a curse as the almighty Dollar

Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something

It is the mind that makes the body rich

Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs

Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell

I believe that the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line
