Andrew Carnegie

Aim for the highest.

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.

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

Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.

All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.

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

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.

Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.

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%.

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