If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The very best way in all the world to overcome self-consciousn ess and shyness is to get interested in other people and to think of them and, almost miraculously, your timidity will pass. Do something for other people. Practice deeds of kindness, acts of friendliness, and you'll be surprised to see what happens.
Dale Carnegie

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Dale Carnegie

Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Unjust criticism is usually disguised compliment. It often means that you have aroused jealously and envy. Remember that no one ever kicks a dead log.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.
Dale Carnegie
Image
No matter what happens, always be yourself.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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.
