Talk to anyone about himself positively and he'll listen without interruption.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Try honest to see things from the other person's point of view.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Every day I pray. I yield myself to God and the tensions and anxieties go out of me and peace and power come in.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.
Dale Carnegie

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.
Dale Carnegie

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.

If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive.
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
Image
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
Image
Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Every minister, lecturer and public speaker know the discouragement of pouring himself of herself out to an audience and not receiving a single ripple of appreciative comment.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

People support a world they helped create.
