More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
Dale Carnegie
Look your audience straight in the eyes, and begin to talk as if every one of them owed you money.
Dale Carnegie
A barber lathers a man before he shaves him.
Dale Carnegie
Close your eyes. You might try saying. . . something like this: The sun is shining overhead. The sky is blue and sparkling. Nature is calm and in control of the world-and I, as nature's child, am in tune with the Universe. Or-better still-pray!
Dale Carnegie
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Dale Carnegie
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie
Unjust criticism is usually disguised compliment. It often means that you have aroused jealously and envy. Remember that no one ever kicks a dead log.
Dale Carnegie
Life truly is a boomerang. What you give, you get.
Dale Carnegie
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs.
Dale Carnegie
There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.
Dale Carnegie
Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.
Dale Carnegie
The words Think and Thank are inscribed in many of the Cromwellian churches of England. These words ought to be inscribed in our hearts, too: Think and Thank. Think of all we have to be grateful for, and thank God for all our boons and bounties.
Dale Carnegie
The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.
Dale Carnegie
Give your problem all the thought you possibly can before a solution is reached. But when the matter is settled and over with, worry not at all.
Dale Carnegie
Put a 'stop-loss' order on your worries. Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth- and refuse to give it any more.
Dale Carnegie
People do things for their reasons, not ours. So find their reasons.
Dale Carnegie
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.
Dale Carnegie
Check up each week on the progress you are making. Ask yourself what mistakes you have made, what improvement, what lessons you have learned for the future.
Dale Carnegie
Take stock of your fears now and see how many of them are senseless. If you are honest with yourself you will probably find most of them are groundless.
Dale Carnegie
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes them strive to justify themselves. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts their sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
Dale Carnegie
