More quotes by 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
The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
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
So if you aspire to be a good conversationali st, be an attentive listener. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other persons will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and their accomplishments
Dale Carnegie
The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book.
Dale Carnegie
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
Dale Carnegie
If you want to develop courage, do the thing you fear and keep on doing it until you have a record of successful experiences behind you. That is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
Dale Carnegie
Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out.
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
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
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
Mix judgement with ambition and season it with energy. It makes a splendid recipe for success.
Dale Carnegie
What is the answer to this fatigue? Relax! Relax! Relax! Learn to relax while you are doing your work!
Dale Carnegie
The resentment that criticism engenders can demoralize employees, family members and friends, and still not correct the situation that has been condemned.
Dale Carnegie
Flattery is telling the other person precisely what he thinks about himself.
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
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
If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
Dale Carnegie
It never hurts a fool to appear before an audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling.
Dale Carnegie
When two partners always agree, one of them is not necessary. If there is some point you haven't thought about, be thankful if it is brought to your attention.
Dale Carnegie
