"The happiness of giving is far sweeter than the pleasure direct”

- Andrew Carnegie

"to experiment, to be

pioneers, to not be afraid

of making mistakes and to

try many things freely,

but discard just as freely."

-Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie famously established the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust by a handwritten letter in 1903 with the purpose of adding value to the lives of the people of Dunfermline, the place of his birth.
