If it is right that schools should be maintained by the whole community for the well-being of the whole, it is right also that libraries should be so maintained.
Andrew CarnegieWhile the law [of competition] may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department. We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment, the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few, and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial, but essential for the future progress of the race.
Andrew Carnegie
