Author	Quotation
Andrew Carnegie	Aim for the highest.
	All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.
	I can't afford to pay them any other way.
	I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.
	No amount of ability is of the slightest avail without honor.
	The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
	Concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket...
	You can't push anyone up the ladder unless he is ready to climb himself.
	Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

Lexicography	Devil's Dictionary	WALL :STREET:, n. A symbol for sin for every devil to rebuke. That Wall Street is a den of thieves is a belief that serves every unsuccessful thief in place of a hope in Heaven. Even the great and good Andrew Carnegie has made his profession of faith in the matter. Carnegie the dauntless has uttered his call To battle: "The brokers are parasites all!" Carnegie, Carnegie, you'll never prevail; Keep the wind of your slogan to belly your sail, Go back to your isle of perpetual brume, Silence your pibroch, doff tartan and plume: Ben Lomond is calling his son from the fray -- Fly, fly from the region of Wall Street away! While still you're possessed of a single baubee (I wish it were pledged to endowment of me) 'Twere wise to retreat from the wars of finance Lest its value decline ere your credit advance. For a man 'twixt a king of finance and the sea, Carnegie, Carnegie, your tongue is too free! Anonymus Bink
