Andrew Carnegie

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

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

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

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

Aim for the highest

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.

Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.

There is no dream you can’t achieve. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities – always see them, for they are always there.

Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy because of what you have.

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

Find the game where you can win, and then commit your life to playing it; and play to win.

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because much more often than you’d think, sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

I believe it’s important that we use names of endearment that reflect a special feeling for the individual involved.

If you have to eat a frog, don’t look at it for too long.

Money won’t make you happy… but everybody wants to find out for themselves.

Focus is essential to success, and successful people are people who can focus.

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above it.

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times.
