Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Andrew Carnegie: The Man and His Work A Keynote to the true description of a rich man who does with his money is struck by Ruskin when he defines wealth to be "the possession of the valuable by the valiant"; for, as he goes on to say, "that man is the richest who, having perfected the function of his own life, has also the widest helpful interest." These words apply with singular fitness to Andrew Carnegie. The story of his life is a record of high aims and strenuous endeavor, disclosing constant indications of a master mind; so that the rising generation, as they follow the gradual growth of his fortunes, and the development of his character, may gather from an account of the winning of his wealth a strong incentive to courageous enterprise, and also appreciate the intention of his pithy paradox, "A man who dies rich dies disgraced." Who can fail to admire that firm purpose to complete his duties as he interprets them, which has reached a noble climax in the fixed determination to put his millions to the most beneficial use?
