安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

John Hay was our frequent guest in England and Scotland, and was on the eve of coming to us at Skibo in 1898 when called home by President McKinley to become Secretary of State. Few have made such a record in that office. He inspired men with absolute confidence in his sincerity, and his aspirations were always high. War he detested, and meant what he said when he pronounced it "the most ferocious and yet the most futile folly of man."

白话

卡内基说,约翰·海是他和妻子在英美两地常来常往的客人,1898年本来要去苏格兰的斯基博庄园做客,却被麦金莱总统召回华盛顿当国务卿。海在国务卿任上政绩罕见:他让人对他的真诚产生绝对信任,志向始终高远。他厌恶战争,说战争是“人类最凶残也最徒劳的蠢行”时是真心话,不是场面话。卡内基欣赏的正是这种表里如一:一个人说的话和做的事一致,别人才敢把大事托付给他。
