Successful men should help lift the unsuccessful into more productive lives, and a man who neglects this duty and dies rich, dies disgraced. |
Andrew Carnegie may be the most influential philanthropist in history. The magnitude of his philanthropy is unparalleled. He gave away over $350 million, the majority of his wealth. Carnegie’s greatest interest was in making education available to everyone. He gave over $56 million to found or fund over 2,000 lending libraries, MANY of which are still around. His thoughts on philanthropy are still in print. His trust still gives grants today. This leaves a clear legacy and his outstanding character shows his leadership.
