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.

More quotes by 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
The trouble with most of us is that we keep our eyes closed to opportunities that thrust themselves at us and rare is the man who searches for his opportunity or sees one even when he stumbles over it.
Dale Carnegie
Nobody is more persuasive than a good listener
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
You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.
Dale Carnegie
When ill luck besets us, to ease the tension we have only to remember that happiness is relative. The next time you are tempted to grumble about what has happened to you, why not pause and be glad that it is no worse than it is.
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
You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you.
Dale Carnegie
Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out.
Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.
Dale Carnegie
Try honest to see things from the other person's point of view.
Dale Carnegie
The way to defeat fear: decide on a course of conduct and follow it. Keep so busy and work so hard that you forget about being afraid.
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
Don't Criticize, Condemn, Or Complain.
Dale Carnegie
Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
Dale Carnegie
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
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
Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
Dale Carnegie
Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.
