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.

Dale Carnegie
Encouragement makes a fault easy to correct, and a challenge easy to take on.
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
Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.
Dale Carnegie
Looking at the other person's point of view and arousing in him an eager want for something is not to be construed as manipulating that person so that he will do something that is only for your benefit and his detriment. Each party should gain from the negotiation.
Dale Carnegie
If you can be sure of being right only 55 percent of the time, you can go down to Wall Street and make a million dollars a day. If you can't be sure of being right even 55 percent of the time, why should you tell other people they are wrong?
Dale Carnegie
Look your audience straight in the eyes, and begin to talk as if every one of them owed you money.
Dale Carnegie
(A smile) costs nothing, but creates much.
Dale Carnegie
The thing is to get the work done.
Dale Carnegie
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest steppingstones to success. No other element can do so much for a man if he is willing to study them and make capital out of them. Look backward. Can't you see where your failures have helped you?
Dale Carnegie
Mix judgement with ambition and season it with energy. It makes a splendid recipe for success.
Dale Carnegie
