Notes
- ↑ Carnagey changed the spelling of his surname in 1922 to Carnegie, bringing it in line with the familial name of the late Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), famed steel magnate and philanthropist, who had died some years earlier. In late 1929 into early 1930, a quote attributed to Dale Carnegie's System, regarding Andrew Carnegie, was published in many American newspapers: "Andrew Carnegie, when he was 33 years old, drew up a plan for the remainder of his life. It was found among his private papers after his death. He figured then that in two more years he would have an annual income of $50,000. About $1,000 a week. Enough for a Scotchman to retire on. So he proposed to turn his back forever on the smoke and grime of the steel mills. But by the time two years had passed, dollars were falling about his as thick as raindrops in a July cloudburst. He was on the road to making millions. Scores of them. The lure was too dazzling; the game too fascinating. He kept on."
