As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.Carnegie publicly stated his wealth was given to benefit the community, he called philanthropy a moral obligation. During his life, he donated over $350 Million and was directly responsible for establishing over 2500 public libraries believing every person had the right to self-educate themself.
It is sad commentary that we too commonly say one thing
and do another.

I wrote a five page Bio on Carnegie in the fourth grade. His vision of philanthropy has stayed with me.
any interesting tidbits to share with us about Carnegie?
