More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress.
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
You are going to survive. And good things are going to start to happen again. And one day you are going to look back and this will not even be such a bad thing
Dale Carnegie
Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.
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
You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.
Dale Carnegie
Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.
Dale Carnegie
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Dale Carnegie
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
People aren't interested in you. They're interested in themselves
Dale Carnegie
If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Dale Carnegie
Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.
Dale Carnegie
Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.
Dale Carnegie
Advertising. The movies do it. TV does it. Why don't you do it?
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
People do things for their reasons, not ours. So find their reasons.
Dale Carnegie
The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.
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
Let the other person save face.
Dale Carnegie
Don't Criticize, Condemn, Or Complain.
