More quotes by Dale Carnegie
When I asked him -Mr.Henry Ford- if he ever worried, he replied: No. I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe that every-thing will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?

Avoid Arguments Like Rattlesnakes And Earthquakes
Dale Carnegie
Looking at the other person's point of view and arousing in him an eager want for something is not to be construed as manipulating that person so that he will do something that is only for your benefit and his detriment. Each party should gain from the negotiation.
Dale Carnegie
arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot walks a lonely way.
Dale Carnegie

Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.
Dale Carnegie
Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
Dale Carnegie
Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Make the fault easy to correct. Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest.
Dale Carnegie
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
Dale Carnegie
Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems.
Dale Carnegie
Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress.
Dale Carnegie
Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
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
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.
