Quote 1: “It will be a great mistake for the community to shoot the millionaires, for they are the bees that make the most honey, and contribute most to the hive even after they have gorged themselves full.” – Andrew Carnegie, Wealth and Its Uses (1907)
Quote 2: “While the law [of competition] may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department. We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves (get used to), great inequality of environment, the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few, and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial but essential for the future progress of the race.” – Andrew Carnegie, The Gospel of Wealth (1889)
Quote 3: “Thus is the problem of Rich and Poor to be solved […] Individualism will continue, but the millionaire will be but a trustee for the poor; entrusted for a season with a great part of the increased wealth of the community, but administering it for the community far better than it could or would have done for itself.” – Andrew Carnegie, The Gospel of Wealth (1889)
