34 Motivational Andrew Carnegie Quotes

Andrew Carnegie (November 25, 1835 – August 11, 1919) was a Scottish-American industrialist who led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century. Carnegie’s journey is of rags to riches. He was a man of hard work, focusing on things that matter, surrounding himself with the right people and leaving the world better than he found it. He was one of the richest men on earth during his time, but he gave away most of it before his passing.

May his quotes push you to be the best that you can be and live a life of contribution and meaning. Have the courage to believe that you are the one and you have what it takes to be that best at whatever endeavor is aligned to who you truly are.
