Concentration is my motto – first honesty, then industry, then concentration.

Andrew Carnegie

Do not think a man has done his full duty when he has performed the work assigned him. A man will never rise if he does only this. Promotion comes from exceptional work.

Andrew Carnegie

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

Andrew Carnegie

Don’t be content with doing only your duty. Do more than your duty. It’s the horse that finishes a neck ahead that wins the race.

Andrew Carnegie

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

Andrew Carnegie

I began to learn what poverty meant. It was burnt in my heart then that my father had to beg for work and there came the resolve that I would cure that when I got to be a man.

Andrew Carnegie

I believe that higher wages to men who respect their employers and are happy and contented are a good investment, yielding, indeed, big dividends.

Andrew Carnegie

I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves.

Andrew Carnegie

I have had a long, long life full of troubles, but there is one curious fact about them-nine-tenths of them never happened.

Andrew Carnegie

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.
