Dale Carnegie
Image
If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don't want to be.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you have worries, there is no better way to eliminate them than by walking them off. Just take them out for a walk. They may take wings and fly away!
Dale Carnegie
Image
You can get ahead in the world. But you will have to work, you will have to want tremendously to accomplish something, and then be willing to pay the price. Are you willing?
Dale Carnegie
Image
By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie

You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.
Dale Carnegie

If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have it depends solely on what you think.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you do something for someone else, never remember. If someone does something for you, never forget.
Dale Carnegie
Image
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do. It's only when necessity faces us that we rise to the occasion and actually do the things that hitherto have seemed impossible.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If we merely try to impress people and get people interested in us, we will never have many true, sincere friends. Friends, real friends, are not made that way.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The most important thing in life is not simply to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence, and makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.
Dale Carnegie
Image
John Wanamaker, founder of the stores that bear his name, once confessed: I learned thirty years ago that it is foolish to scold. I have enough trouble overcoming my own limitations without fretting over the fact that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
