Dale Carnegie
Don't Criticize, Condemn, Or Complain.
Dale Carnegie
The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book.
Dale Carnegie
If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don't want to be.
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
Naturalness is the easiest thing in the world to acquire, if you will forget yourself-forget about the impression you are trying to make.
Dale Carnegie
If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.
Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie
Stop worrying and start living.
Dale Carnegie
Almost all the progress ever made in human thought has been made by the Doubting Thomas's, the questioners, the challengers, the show-me crowd.
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
He who treads softly goes far.
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
A good deed, said the prophet Mohammed, is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another. Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer? Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the very thing that produces worry and fear and melancholia.
Dale Carnegie
By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.
Dale Carnegie
You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
Dale Carnegie
If half a century of living has taught me anything at all, it has taught me that nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Dale Carnegie
Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Constantly criticizing, condemning and complaining is what breaks most relationships. Instead of criticizing and condemning, figure out how you can solve the problem together. Instead of focusing on blaming the other person for what they did wrong, focus on how you can avoid the problem next time.
Dale Carnegie
The biggest lesson I have learned is the stupendous importance of what we think. If I knew what you think, I would know what you are, for your thoughts make you what you are by changing our thoughts, we can change our lives.
Dale Carnegie
You are merely not feeling equal to the tasks before you.
