"The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell." ― Andrew Carnegie Topic(s): Leadership More From Andrew Carnegie "As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do." "And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department." "No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit." More In Leadership "If you want a quality, act as if you already had it."― William James "Majority rule only works if you’re also considering individual rights. Because you can’t have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper."― Larry Flynt "Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them."― John C. Maxwell
