More quotes by Dale Carnegie

Image
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
Image
You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you.
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
If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Talk to anyone about himself positively and he'll listen without interruption.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Don't you have much more faith in ideas that you discover for yourself than in ideas that are handed to you on a silver platter?
Dale Carnegie
Image
Any fool can try to defend his or her mistakes- and most fools do- but it raises one above the herd and gives one a feeling of nobility and exultation to admit one's mistakes.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The difference between appreciation and flattery? That is simple. One is sincere and the other insincere. One comes from the heart out the other from the teeth out. One is unselfish the other selfish. One is universally admired the other universally condemned.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Happiness is largely an attitude of mind, of viewing life from the right angle.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Become genuinely interested in other people.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.
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
If you and I want to stir up a resentment tomorrow that may rankle across the decades and endure until death, just let us indulge in a little stinging criticism - no matter how certain we are that it is justified.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
Dale Carnegie
Image
A good deed, said the prophet Mohammed, is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another. Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer? Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the very thing that produces worry and fear and melancholia.

Even in such technical lines as engineering, about 15% of one's financial success is due one's technical knowledge and about 85% is due to skill in human engineering, to personality and the ability to lead people.

Every day I pray. I yield myself to God and the tensions and anxieties go out of me and peace and power come in.
