Andrew Carnegie

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

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

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

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

There is little success where there is little laughter.

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

I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

A new day is here. Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow is unknown. Now is the knowing.

Vision is the art of seeing things that are not yet visible.

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

My philosophy in life is this: if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.

We grow great by dreams.

The greatest effort is not concerned with results.

Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.

The problem with pity parties is very few people come, and those who do don’t bring presents.

Better an ‘oops’ than a ‘what if’.

Decide what you want, and decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.

The mind that opens to a new idea never comes back to its original size.

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes but don’t quit.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
