More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Tomorrow you may want to persuade somebody to do something. Before you speak, pause and as yourself, How can I make this person want to do it?
Dale Carnegie
STOP AND LOOK out the window and see how beautiful the world is. It is there-enjoy it. Go out tonight and look up at the stars. They are the wonders of nature
Dale Carnegie
When you're afraid keep your mind on what you have to do. And if you have been thoroughly prepared you will not be afraid.
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
Remember that other people may be totally wrong. But they don't think so. Don't condemn them. Any fool can do that. Try to understand them. Only wise, tolerant, exceptional people even try to do that.
Dale Carnegie
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt.

The thing is to get the work done.
Dale Carnegie
Do the very best you can.
Dale Carnegie
If you can be sure of being right only 55 percent of the time, you can go down to Wall Street and make a million dollars a day. If you can't be sure of being right even 55 percent of the time, why should you tell other people they are wrong?
Dale Carnegie
If you want to be happy, set yourself a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes. Happiness is within you. It comes from doing some certain thing into which you can put all your thought and energy. If you want to be happy, get enthusiastic about something.
Dale Carnegie
I know men and women can banish worry, fear and various kinds of illnesses, and can transform their lives by changing their thoughts. I know! I know! I know! I have seen such incredible transformations performed hundreds of times. I have seen them so often that I no longer wonder at them.
Dale Carnegie
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
Confusion is the main cause of worry
Dale Carnegie
Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Constantly criticizing, condemning and complaining is what breaks most relationships. Instead of criticizing and condemning, figure out how you can solve the problem together. Instead of focusing on blaming the other person for what they did wrong, focus on how you can avoid the problem next time.
Dale Carnegie
Always avoid the acute angle.
Dale Carnegie
Every minister, lecturer and public speaker know the discouragement of pouring himself of herself out to an audience and not receiving a single ripple of appreciative comment.
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
An effective speaker knows that the success or failure of his talk is not for him to decide - it will be decided in the minds and hearts of his hearers.
Dale Carnegie
Almost all the progress ever made in human thought has been made by the Doubting Thomas's, the questioners, the challengers, the show-me crowd.
