There is a certain degree of satisfaction in having the courage to admit one's errors. It not only clears up the air of guilt and defensiveness, but often helps solve the problem created by the error

More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt.
Dale Carnegie
If you increase your success by even a mere 10 percent, you have become 10 percent more effective as a leader than you were before.
Dale Carnegie
You can sing only what you are. You can paint only what you are. You must be what your experiences, your environment, and your heredity have made you. For better or for worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.
Dale Carnegie
If we want to make friends, let's greet people with animation and enthusiasm.
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
(A smile) costs nothing, but creates much.
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
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
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
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
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Dale Carnegie
If you want to be happy, set yourself a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes. Happiness is within you. It comes from doing some certain thing into which you can put all your thought and energy. If you want to be happy, get enthusiastic about something.
Dale Carnegie
Arouse in the other person an eager want.
Dale Carnegie
If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.
Dale Carnegie
Today is the only time we can possibly live.
Dale Carnegie
Advertising. The movies do it. TV does it. Why don't you do it?
Dale Carnegie
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes them strive to justify themselves. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts their sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
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
Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems.
Dale Carnegie
Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.
