Andrew Carnegie Quotes Click here for Andrew Carnegie books The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie "The man who dies rich, dies disgraced." "Anything in life worth having is worth working for!" "The problem of our age is the proper administration of wealth, so that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relationship." "Upon the sacredness of property civilization itself depends—the right of the laborer to his hundred dollars in the savings bank, and equally the legal right of the millionaire to his millions."
"Thus is the problem of Rich and Poor to be solved. The law of accumulation will be left free; the laws of distribution free. Individualism will continue, but the millionaire will be but a trustee of the poor; entrusted for a season with a great part of the increased wealth of the community, but administering it for the community far better than it could or would have done for itself." "Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity." "Money can't buy happiness but it bought me every skyscraper in New York." "I don’t believe in God. My god is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life." |
