“It is not the rich man’s son that the young struggler for advancement has to fear in the race of life, nor his nephew, nor his cousin. Let him look out for the “dark horse” in the boy who begins by sweeping out the office.”

“A new judge is very apt to stand so straight as really to lean a little backward. Only experience teaches the supreme force of gentleness.”

“There are many splendid natures in the world-men and women who are not only willing, but anxious to stretch forth a helping hand to those they know to be worthy.

As a rule, those who show willingness to help themselves need not fear about obtaining the help of others.”

Simple wisdom from the Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie.

A man who wasn’t afraid from doing the work, heart intact.

A rare combination indeed.
