Andrew Carnegie On The Benefit in a Diversity of Talents

Andrew Carnegie Speaking on Diversity and Human Progress.

​"Nothing should be done that would tend to reduce diversity of talents in our [human] race. Everything should be done to increase it if possible; for it is through "variation" the progress of the [human] race has been achieved, and progress is the chief end of existence. This is what we are here for, as is proven by the fact that progress from the lower to the higher has prevailed from the time this earth cooled and life began to appear.

​"This is our God-like mission: that every individual in his day and generation push this march upward, so that each succeeding generation may be better than the preceding [emphasis added]."

​Andrew Carnegie, "The Empire of Business," 1913
