Dale Carnegie

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

Dale Carnegie
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do. It's only when necessity faces us that we rise to the occasion and actually do the things that hitherto have seemed impossible.
Dale Carnegie
The most important thing in life is not simply to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence, and makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.
Dale Carnegie
There is a reason why the other man thinks and acts as he does. Ferret out that reason — and you have the key to his actions, perhaps to his personality. Try honestly to put yourself in his place.
Dale Carnegie
If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.
Dale Carnegie
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
When the friendly jailer gave Socrates the poison cup to drink, the jailer said: Try to bear lightly what needs must be. Socrates did. He faced death with a calmness and resignation that touched the hem of divinity.
Dale Carnegie
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Dale Carnegie
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
