No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
-- Andrew Carnegie
I find something refreshing about people from other eras who at least spoke about, if not practiced, the timeless traits of good character. I don't, in fact, know much about how this man lived, but it strikes me that simple words like these, fashionable in some circles today, have been discovered and manifested throughout history to both the benefit of those around them and posterity. They remain valuable to the extent that they inform again how to live in our times.
