Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.
Dale Carnegie
If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie
It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you’re doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It’s what you think of it. Two people may in the same place doing the same thing, and yet one may be miserable and the other happy. Why? Because of a different mental attitude.
Dale Carnegie
We nourish the bodies of our children and friends and employees, but how seldom do we nourish their selfesteem? We provide them with roast beef and potatoes to build energy, but we neglect to give them kind words of appreciation that would sing in their memories for years like the music of the morning stars.
Dale Carnegie
Make a man laugh a good hearty laugh, and you've paved the way for friendship. When a man laughs with you, he, to some extent, likes you.
Dale Carnegie
'When you have a lemon, make a lemonade.' That is what a great educator does. But the fool does the exact opposite. If he finds that life has handed him a lemon, he gives up and says, 'I 'm beaten. It is fate. I haven't got a chance.' Then he proceeds to rail against the world and indulge in an orgy of self-pity .
Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie
The words Think and Thank are inscribed in many of the Cromwellian churches of England. These words ought to be inscribed in our hearts, too: Think and Thank. Think of all we have to be grateful for, and thank God for all our boons and bounties.
Dale Carnegie
Face the thing that seems overwhelming and you will be surprised how your fear will melt away.
Dale Carnegie
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.
Dale Carnegie
Always avoid the acute angle.
Dale Carnegie
Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out.
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
Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.
Dale Carnegie
Take a chance! All life is a chance
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
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.
Dale Carnegie
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
Stop worrying and start living.
Dale Carnegie
People support a world they helped create.
