More quotes by Dale Carnegie
He who treads softly goes far.
Dale Carnegie
If you disagree with them you may be tempted to interrupt. But don't. It is dangerous. They won't pay attention to you while they still have a lot of ideas of their own crying for expression. So listen patiently and with an open mind.
Dale Carnegie
The way to defeat fear: decide on a course of conduct and follow it. Keep so busy and work so hard that you forget about being afraid.
Dale Carnegie
Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.
Dale Carnegie
I honestly believe that this is one of the greatest secrets to true peace of mind -- a decent sense of values. We could annihilate 50 percent of all our worries at once if we would develop a sort of private gold standard -- a gold standard of what things are worth to us in terms of our lives.
Dale Carnegie
The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
Dale Carnegie
Everyday is a new life to a wise man.
Dale Carnegie
Appreciation is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.
Dale Carnegie
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Dale Carnegie
A good deed, said the prophet Mohammed, is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another. Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer? Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the very thing that produces worry and fear and melancholia.
Dale Carnegie
Flattery is telling the other person precisely what he thinks about himself.
Dale Carnegie
The biggest lesson I have learned is the stupendous importance of what we think. If I knew what you think, I would know what you are, for your thoughts make you what you are by changing our thoughts, we can change our lives.
Dale Carnegie
Why talk about what we want? That is childish. Absurd. Of course, you are interested in what you want. You are eternally interested in it. But no one else is. The rest of us are just like you: we are interested in what we want.
Dale Carnegie
You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.
Dale Carnegie
Self-expression is the dominant necessity of human nature.
Dale Carnegie
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
Dale Carnegie
Create happiness for others.
Dale Carnegie
Three-fourths of the people you will ever meet are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you.
Dale Carnegie
Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have it depends solely on what you think.
Dale Carnegie
Tell me what gives a man or woman their greatest pleasure and I'll tell you their philosophy of life.
Dale Carnegie
