安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
To bring into the monotonous lives of the toiling masses of Dunfermline, more "of sweetness and light," to give to them--especially the young--some charm, some happiness, some elevating conditions of life which residence elsewhere would have denied, that the child of my native town, looking back in after years, however far from home it may have roamed, will feel that simply by virtue of being such, life has been made happier and better. If this be the fruit of your labors, you will have succeeded; if not, you will have failed.

白话
卡内基为邓弗姆林庄园定下的目标是:给当地劳苦大众单调的生活带来更多“甜美与光明”,尤其是年轻人,让他们获得别处没有的魅力、快乐和提升生活品质的条件。他希望故乡的孩子将来无论走多远,回首时都会因为自己是邓弗姆林人而感到生活变得更幸福、更美好。如果这是你努力的成果,你就成功了;如果不是,你就失败了。
上下文
卡内基买下故乡的庄园后,明确其用途是造福当地民众,这段话是他对捐赠目标的深情表述。
