135 These names represent but a small fraction of the hundreds of well-known
136 Americans whose achievements, financially and otherwise, prove that those who
137 understand and apply the Carnegie secret, reach high stations in life. I have never
138 known anyone who was inspired to use the secret, who did not achieve
139 noteworthy success in his chosen calling. I have never known any person to
140 distinguish himself, or to accumulate riches of any consequence, without
141 possession of the secret.
142 From these two facts I draw the conclusion that the secret is more important, as
143 a part of the knowledge essential for self-determination, than any which one
144 receives through what is popularly known as "education."
