More quotes by Dale Carnegie

Image
John Wanamaker, founder of the stores that bear his name, once confessed: I learned thirty years ago that it is foolish to scold. I have enough trouble overcoming my own limitations without fretting over the fact that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Self-expression is the dominant necessity of human nature.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The thing is to get the work done.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.
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
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
Image
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.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Take stock of your fears now and see how many of them are senseless. If you are honest with yourself you will probably find most of them are groundless.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.
Dale Carnegie
Image
It never hurts a fool to appear before an audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Stop worrying and start living.
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
By talking to yourself about the things you have to be grateful for you can fill your mind with thoughts that soar and sing.
Dale Carnegie
Image
We are gods in the chrysalis.
Dale Carnegie
Image
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie
Image
STOP AND LOOK out the window and see how beautiful the world is. It is there-enjoy it. Go out tonight and look up at the stars. They are the wonders of nature
Dale Carnegie

Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Give your problem all the thought you possibly can before a solution is reached. But when the matter is settled and over with, worry not at all.
